A Copenhagen court on Monday remanded into a psychiatric care facility the 22-year-old suspect accused of shooting dead three people in a shopping mall at the weekend, police said.
“The court remands the 22-year-old in a closed psychiatric ward,” Copenhagen police wrote on Twitter, following a two-hour hearing involving the suspect.
Danish police said earlier on Monday the suspect was known to mental health services.
“Our suspect is also known among psychiatric services, beyond that I do not wish to comment,” Copenhagen police chief Soren Thomassen told a press conference.
