20 cm long blade

In a shopping center in the Czech city of Hradec Kralove (Königgrätz), a young man stabbed two women to death with a knife.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The man attacked one woman directly in a discount store and the second in another room belonging to it - both victims were sales clerks.
The police told the CTK news agency that they arrested the suspected attacker around ten minutes after the crime. He is a 16-year-old Czech citizen. His motive is still unclear. The National Center for Combating Terrorism and Extremism was therefore involved in the investigation.
The two injured women were immediately given first aid. Unfortunately, it was not possible to save them, a spokeswoman for the emergency services said.
No further danger to the public
According to the police, it is not yet clear whether the young man randomly stabbed random victims or whether the perpetrator and victims knew each other.
The suspected murder weapon, a knife with a 20-centimeter-long blade, was found by the police not far from the scene of the crime. There is no further danger to the public.
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala described the attack on Platform X as an "incomprehensible and terrible act". Other politicians also expressed their shock and condolences to the families of the victims.
