GERMAN police said today that a Syrian asylum-seeker turned himself into custody, claiming responsibility for the Solingen knife attack last week that left three dead and eight wounded at a festival marking the city’s 650th anniversary.

“This person’s involvement in the crime is currently being intensively investigated,” the statement said.
