"The involvement of this person is currently under intensive investigation," prosecutors and Düsseldorf police said.

He is under investigation for murder, attempted murder and membership of a foreign terrorist organisation, Germany’s federal prosecutor told the BBC.

Three people were killed and another eight injured in the city of Solingen during a festival to celebrate its 650-year history, in what Chancellor Olaf Scholz described as a "horrific act".

The Islamic State group on Saturday claimed responsibility for the bloodshed, but did not immediately provide any evidence of a relationship with the attacker.
