SOLINGEN, GERMANY (AP) – German police say a 26-year-old man has turned himself in, saying he was responsible for the deadly Solingen knife attack that left three dead and eight wounded at a festival marking the city’s 650th anniversary.
Duesseldorf police said in a joint statement with the prosecutor’s office Sunday that the man “stated that he was responsible for the attack.”
It said his “involvement in the crime is currently being intensively investigated.”
On Saturday the Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility for the attack, without providing evidence. The claim couldn’t independently be verified.
