Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, the suspect in a deadly car ramming at a German Christmas market, has sent letters to victims from pretrial detention. The letters requested forgiveness and wished for the victims' recovery. Recipients reported shock and horror upon receiving the letters, which reignited traumatic memories of the attack. Many victims expressed a lack of interest in his apology, while a mental health counselor noted that none of the affected individuals sought a response from him. The incident resulted in the deaths of six people and over 300 injuries.
"At first we couldn't believe it, the newspaper quoted one of the recipients as saying, adding that the letter had triggered horrible memories of the night of the attack."
"None of those affected with whom I'm in contact is interested in an apology."
"More than 300 people were hurt, some of them severely, in the car ramming at the festive market on 20 December."
"He requested visits or responses by letter from the victims or their representatives, adding that they should include in any mail to him a self-addressed stamped envelope."
