Saxony Minister of Justice Sebastian Gemkow informed that terror suspect Jaber al-Bakr committed a suicide in his cell on Wednesday evening, during a press conference at Saxony State Chancellery in Dresden.
"Yesterday evening at 19:45 an official from JVA Leipzig had observed during an ordered control check, that the prisoner had, with his shirt, strangled himself from the bars of his cell," Gemkow stated.
Al-Bakr had reportedly been on hunger strike since his arrest on Monday. He had been turned in to police by three Syrian refugees, who he had asked for help after escaping to Leipzig.
Police found "highly volatile" explosives, which were allegedly homemade, during a raid of Al-Bakr's flat in Chemnitz, last Saturday. The arrest on Monday morning came following a massive two-day manhunt, which involved more than 700 police units.
