16-Year-Old Knife Attacker Killed Two Women in Czech Republic

The two injured women were given first aid immediately. Unfortunately, it was not possible to save them, said a spokeswoman for the emergency services.

According to the police, it is not yet clear whether the perpetrator and the victims knew each other or if the young man randomly attacked random victims. The man attacked one woman directly in a discount store, and the second in another adjoining room. Both women were sales assistants.

Weapon Was a Knife with 20 Centimeter Blade

The suspected weapon, a knife with a 20-centimeter-long blade, was found by the police near the crime scene, according to a spokeswoman. There is no further danger to the public.

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala described the attack on the platform X as an "incomprehensible and terrible act." Other politicians also expressed their shock and simultaneously extended their condolences to the victims' families.
