German Facebook users shared a post – purportedly from the dead boy’s mother: “He was only nine years with us on earth. Why you, why, I don’t understand. You will live always in our hearts. I promise you that.”‘I’ll never forget the trail of bodies’: Magdeburg witnesses recount Christmas market attack

The four other victims were all women aged 45, 52, 67 and 75. Three of the four were from the state of Saxony-Anhalt, of which Magdeburg is the capital. On Saturday evening a magistrate ordered the man, identified in German media as Taleb A, into pretrial custody after prosecutors pressed charges of murder on five counts, multiple counts of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm.
