Body found after woman died on sub
FRENCH POLICE have ruled out terrorism as a motive after a van rammed into two Marseille bus stops,leaving one woman dead and a man injured.
A police official said “the terrorist motive is completely rejected” and that the driver of the white van was being treated for psychological problems.
Nearly an hour passed between when the first bus stop was slammed into and the second incident.
It came just days after backto-back van attacks in Barcelona and the Spanish resort town of Cambrils killed 15 people, with Islamic State claiming responsibility.
It was the second time in a week that a driver in France with mental health problems allegedly killed a person with a vehicle and was thought by authorities to have acted deliberately, but without terrorist intent.
reported that the suspect came to Marseille specifically for psychiatric treatment in an institution.
On August 14, a driver rammed his car into a crowded pizzeria east of Paris, killing an adolescent girl and injuring a dozen other people. The 32-yearold security guard was under the influence of drugs and showing signs of paranoia. THE BODY of a woman has been found in the Baltic Sea near where a missing Swedish journalist is believed to have died on a privately built submarine, police in Denmark said.
Copenhagen police tweeted that the body was discovered hours after the Danish owner of the vessel, 46-year-old Peter Madsen, told authorities that 30-yearold Kim Wall died onboard in an accident and that he buried her at sea at an unspecified location.
Madsen was arrested in connection with Wall’s disappearance after his submarine sank off Denmark’s eastern coast, an event police said they suspected the inventor had caused on purpose, on August 10.
Madsen will continue to be held on preliminary manslaughter charges, police said.
The Danish inventor was known for financing his submarine project through crowdfunding.
