A two-year-old girl and her mother have died from their injuries following Thursday’s car-ramming attack in Munich, German police have confirmed.
“Unfortunately, we must confirm the deaths today of the two-year-old child and her 37-year-old mother,” a police spokesperson told AFP.
The suspect, a 24-year-old Afghan man, is currently under investigation as authorities work to determine his motive.
The attack occurred just days before Germany’s February 23 election, in which immigration has become a key issue following several attacks linked to migrants, The Guardian reported.
