(AFP) The man accused of stabbing four toddlers and two adults at a playground in a French town last week has been moved to a psychiatric hospital, sources said on Wednesday.
The suspect, named as Abdalmasih H, was charged with attempted murder following the June 8 stabbing rampage at a park in the Alpine town of Annecy, a normally idyllic lakeside spot popular with tourists.
A Syrian refugee in his early 30s who had been living in Europe for the last decade, he had undergone two psychiatric evaluations in police custody.
On Wednesday, he was transferred to a psychiatric hospital near Lyon, two sources with knowledge of the case told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
