Subway station on Heinrich-Heine-Allee in downtown area, fugitive caught following public inquiry.
In a significant development, the manhunt for the 37-year-old suspect, Issa al Hasan, who was wanted for committing an Islamist terrorism attack at the Solingen city festival on August 23, 2024, has come to an end. The suspect, a rejected asylum seeker who had radicalized into Islamist ideology and spread ISIS propaganda, was convicted for triple murder, tenfold attempted murder, and membership in the Islamic State, resulting in life imprisonment with subsequent preventive detention.
The resolution of the manhunt does not change the ongoing identification procedures for the suspect. The Düsseldorf Police Department's Criminal Commission 12, in charge of the investigations, continues to work diligently to confirm the suspect's identity.
The location of the investigations remains in Düsseldorf, where the commission has been based since the start of the case. The location where the suspect surrendered to the police in Solingen does not affect the initial grounds for remand.
The police department involved is the Düsseldorf Police Department, who have been handling the investigations related to the case. The commission has not revealed the circumstances surrounding the suspect's surrender, but they assure the public that the necessary procedures are being followed.
It is important to note that no further manhunt operations are currently underway. The public is advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
The investigations for the case have reached a significant milestone, but the resolution of the manhunt does not mean the end of the legal proceedings. The suspect's status is now "no longer at large," but the identification procedures and the subsequent court proceedings will continue.
The public is encouraged to stay informed about the case as updates are released. The safety and well-being of the community remain the top priority for the authorities involved.
