		</div><p>A man suspected of supplying the gun that was used in the shooting attack that killed five people near a Christmas market in Strasbourg was charged with preliminary terror offences on Monday, a judicial official said.</p>
<p>The official said the man appeared before a judge and was charged with criminal association with terrorists, as well as possessing and supplying arms in connection with a terrorist enterprise.</p>
<p>The man is suspected of furnishing the weapon that alleged gunman Cherif Chekatt used in the December 11 attack, the judicial official said.</p>
<p>He was remanded into custody.</p>
<p>Chekatt, 29, died in a shootout with police in Strasbourg on Thursday.</p>
<p>Two other people were arrested and detained on Monday as part of the terror investigation the Paris prosecutor’s office is conducting into the attack.</p>
<p>They also were suspected of “playing a role in supplying the firearm”, said the official.</p>
<p>Their arrests bring the number of suspects in custody since the attack to three.</p>
<p>Chekatt’s parents and two of his brothers were questioned by police last week and released.</p>
<p>The death toll from the attack increased to five on Sunday after a Polish man died of his wounds in a Strasbourg hospital.</p>
<p>Barto Orent-Niedzielski, 36, lived in the city, where he worked at the European Parliament and as a journalist.</p>
<p>The other casualties include a tourist from Thailand and an Italian journalist covering the European Parliament.</p>
<p>According to some reports, Orent-Niedzielski fought the gunman and stopped him from entering a crowded club, possibly preventing more deaths.</p>
<p>Polish President Andrzej Duda wrote on Twitter that “I knew him by sight. I am shocked. I had not realised that he was the one mortally wounded protecting other people. Honour to his memory. RIP”.</p>
