A second suspect detained in connection with a deadly carjacking attack at Berlin’s Pride celebrations over the weekend has been released, Germany’s federal prosecutor’s office said Monday.
“We are continuing to investigate extensively,” the prosecutor’s office told Reuters, declining to comment further.
Spiegel on Monday quoted sources as saying that authorities released the man because initial suspicions that he was a passenger in the car at the time of the attack could not be confirmed.
The attack, which killed one person, happened in the Tiergarten park near the Brandenburg Gate at around 10pm local time on Saturday, not far from the annual Christopher Street Day celebrations.
The suspected driver, a 21-year-old man with a record of Islamic extremism, was shot dead in Berlin on Sunday.
