Suspect admits killings in Finnish stabbing spree

The main suspect in last week's stabbing attack in Finland yesterday admitted to killing two people and injuring eight others but denied any intent to murder, his lawyer said.

The Turku district court placed Abderrahman Mechkah, an 18-year-old Moroccan citizen, in formal custody after he made his statement to the court via video link from hospital, where he is being treated for a police gunshot wound to the thigh.
