00:00I'm here at the scene of the horrific events which took place just five days before Christmas
00:05at the Magdeburg Christmas market.
00:08Behind me here is the entrance point in which the suspect drove his car onto the grounds
00:14and then some 400 metres through the market for a total of three whole minutes, knocking
00:22down more than 200 people along the way.
00:25The suspect is a 50-year-old doctor from Saudi Arabia who had been in Germany for almost
00:3020 years.
00:32The motives for his attack are still under investigation.
00:36Behind me here is where the vehicle exited the Christmas market.
00:39It made a right here only to be stopped by police at the tram stop behind me where the
00:45suspect was arrested.
00:48This is where the rampage ended.
00:50Since then, the public prosecutor's office of the city of Magdeburg have charged the
00:54suspect with five counts of murder and over 200 counts of attempted murder.
