No evidence German stabber had ‘Islamist motive’

There is no evidence yet that a German man who Tuesday stabbed four people, killing one, had an Islamist motive, a spokesman for Bavaria state’s interior ministry says.

“So far we have no evidence for an Islamist motive, but the investigation continues,” says spokesman Oliver Platzer, after the prosecution service earlier mentioned an “apparently Islamist motive.”

“We have found the man had psychological and drug problems,” Platzer tells AFP.
