A woman died from injuries sustained after a man drove his car into a German Christmas market last month, bringing the total death toll in the attack to six.
The 52-year-old died in hospital two weeks after the car crashed into a crowded market in Magdeburg, prosecutors said.
At least 299 people were injured in the December 20 attack, according to the latest figures from Saxony-Anhalt’s interior ministry.
Four more women between the ages of 45 and 75 and a nine-year-old girl André Gleißner they were also killed.
Federal Commissioner for Victims Roland Weber told German media that as many as 531 people may have been traumatized or suffered economic losses as a result of the attack.
Fifty-year-old Taleb al-Abdulmohsen was arrested at the scene, but the motives of the suspected attacker remain unclear.
He had lived in Germany since 2006 and was described as a Saudi psychiatrist who lived about 50 km (30 miles) south of Magdeburg, in the town of Bernburg.
Abdulmohsen was granted asylum in 2016 and ran a website aimed at helping other ex-Muslims flee persecution in their Gulf homelands.
In many postings on the Internet, Abdulmohsen has expressed strong anti-Islam views and support for far-right conspiracy narratives about the “Islamization” of Europe.
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said it was “clear to see” that the suspect had “Islamophobic” views.
“The perpetrator does not fit into any previous categorization. Here, every stone will be left unturned,” she said.
Abdulmohsen was remanded in custody on charges of murder, attempted murder and grievous bodily harm.
Police believe he acted alone, but the German authorities they face questions about security and what they knew about the suspect accused of entering the market through the emergency lane.
They are also raising questions after reports they were alerted to the suspect last year, and police said they assessed whether he might be a threat a year ago.
A source close to the Saudi government told the BBC it had sent four official notices known as “Notes Verbal” to German authorities, warning them of what they said were Abdulmohsen’s “very extreme views”.
However, a counter-terrorism expert told the BBC that the Saudis may have launched a disinformation campaign to discredit someone who tried to help young Saudi women seek asylum in Germany.
