HELSINKI, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- Finnish police were able to interrogate on Sunday afternoon the main suspect for Friday's stabbings in Turku, but released no details.
Crista Granroth, officer in charge of the investigation, told Finnish News Agency that there were "ideological thoughts" behind the attacks, but did not specify what kind of ideology the investigators had been able to observe.
The police will submit an incarceration order on Monday to the Southwestern Finland Regional Court. In Finland, the police can hold a suspect in detention only for a limited time without a court approval.
The suspect need not be present in the court process, as he is still in hospital, according to media reports.
The 18-year-old Moroccan stabbed crowds at two squares in central Turku on Friday afternoon, leaving two Finnish women dead and eight others wounded.
