The knife stabber (28) from Lugano tried to travel to Syria; I was in love and psychologically abused
In the wake of the knife attack in Lugano, the police released more details about the perpetrator. He tried to travel to Syria in 2017.
(mg) The woman fell in love with a jihadist fighter in Syria in 2017 via social media and attempted to travel with the man. This is what the Federal Police Office (fedpol) wrote in an update on the knife attack in Ticino on Twitter. At that time, however, the Turkish authorities detained the woman at the Turkish-Syrian border and sent her back to Switzerland. During this time she suffered from mental health problems and was sent to a mental institution upon her return.

Since 2017, according to fedpol, the woman “no longer appears in investigations with a terrorist background.” On Tuesday afternoon, the 28-year-old woman wounded two women with a knife in the Piazza Dante mansion. One of them was seriously injured, but not fatally. During the course of the day, fedpol also became involved in the investigation, as terrorist motives cannot be ruled out.
