A mother and her two-year-old daughter have died from injuries sustained two days ago when a car deliberately rammed into a trade union demonstration in Munich on Thursday. The attack wounded 37 people, including children, police said.
A two-year-old girl and her mother died Saturday from injuries suffered in the car-ramming attack two days ago in the German city of Munich that left 37 others injured, police said.
"Unfortunately, we have to confirm the deaths today of the two-year-old child and her 37-year-old mother," police spokesman Ludwig Waldinger told AFP.
An Afghan man was arrested on suspicion of deliberately driving a car into a trade union demonstration on Thursday.
Police said the 24-year-old asylum seeker, identified by German media as Farhad N., may have had Islamist extremist motives for the attack.
After the incident, the suspect uttered the words "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) to police officers and also prayed, prosecutor Gabriele Tilmann said on Friday.
The carnage came shortly before Germans head to the polls for a February 23 election where immigration is a key issue following a spate of attacks blamed on migrants.
