(AFP) Dutch prosecutors are to charge the suspect in a gun attack in a packed Utrecht tram with “terrorist” killings, saying he will appear for the first time before a judge on Friday.
“The 37-year-old suspect will appear before a judge on Friday, charged with multiple murders with terrorist aims, as well as attempted murder and a terrorist threat,” the public prosecution service said in a statement on Thursday.
Prosecutors and police are still investigating whether the suspect, previously identified as Turkish-born Gokmen Tanis, “acted out of a single terrorist motive or whether from personal problems in combination with radicalised ideas,” it said.
