German Christmas market ‘attacker’ is charged with five counts of murder – as it’s revealed all adult victims of car rampage were women?

A Saudi doctor who allegedly killed five people during a devastating attack on a Christmas market has been charged with five counts of murder.

Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, 50, rammed his SUV into a packed market in the town of Magdeburg on Friday night, killing nine-year-old André Gleißner and four adults. The other four victims were revealed by police as four women aged 45, 52, 67 and 75.

Al-Abdulmohsen was remanded in pretrial custody last night after prosecutors pressed charges of murder on five counts, multiple counts of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm, according to a police statement.
