The 24-year-old man from Chechnya is suspected of using a knife to kill one man and trying to kill a second person in Bremen, northern Germany.

Late last year, German police told their Polish counterparts that the man was probably in hiding in Poland, and a Bremen court put out a European warrant for his arrest.

Polish and German police working together determined that the man had rented a home south-west of Warsaw.

According to Polish police, the man has been handed over to the Warsaw District Prosecutor’s Office. (vb/pk)
