<p>Lit candles and flowers have been placed at the base of the city’s Roman gate as residents mourn those killed alongside more than a dozen injured in the incident on Tuesday afternoon.</p>
<p>Speaking near the makeshift memorial, city mayor Wolfram Leibe said: “The victims and their families need answers.”</p>
<p>A 51-year-old local man arrested at the scene has made a statement to authorities and remains in custody as he is investigated for five counts of murder, 18 counts of attempted murder and causing bodily harm, prosecutor Peter Fritzen said.</p>
<p>Authorities do not believe the suspect drove into the pedestrians for any political, religious or similar reason, but they have not yet been able to determine a motive, Mr Fritzen added.</p>
<p>Statements the suspect made to police immediately after his arrest kept changing and were “partially incomprehensible”, the prosecutor said.</p>
<p>“The suspect also showed psychological abnormalities in his behaviour during and after his arrest and in police custody.”</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>A comprehensive psychological examination has been ordered.</p>
<p>The man had been drinking heavily before the attack, Mr Fritzen said, and questioning will continue over the next few days.</p>
<p>Among the five killed were a 45-year-old man and his nine-week-old daughter. His wife and one-year-old son are among the injured and are being treated in a hospital, police said.</p>
<p>The others killed were three women aged 25, 52 and 73.</p>
<p>Police received the first call about the attack just before 1.50pm and apprehended the suspect four minutes later.</p>
<p>Zig-zagging through the pedestrian zone, police said the driver travelled about 800 metres in total, “leaving behind him a trail of dead, injured and rubble”.</p>
