Germany news: Leipzig ramming suspect ordered to psych ward 05.05.2026

DW

A 33-year-old German man accused of a deadly deliberate car ramming in Leipzig on Monday was ordered by a judge to be held in a psychiatric hospital, as prosecutors believe he had no religious or political motive but wanted to kill as many people as possible. The judge cited "compelling reasons" the suspect had diminished responsibility and would likely commit further serious acts. Separately, Chancellor Friedrich Merz marked one year in office with his coalition facing infighting and record-low public satisfaction of 11%, according to a Forsa poll. In corporate news, Deutsche Post shareholders approved a legal rebrand to DHL Group, reflecting its shift to international logistics, while Audi reported an 11% profit drop citing US tariffs and weak China sales, and BioNTech announced drastic restructuring, ending German COVID vaccine production and cutting up to 1,860 jobs to focus on cancer research.
