Mainz (dpa) - After the fatal rampage of a car driver in Trier, the motive for the act is still unclear.
The man had not given any clear information in the previous interrogations, said the Rhineland-Palatinate Interior Minister Roger Lewentz (SPD) on Friday.
According to previous knowledge, the 51-year-old suspect drove an off-road vehicle through the Trier pedestrian zone at high speed on Tuesday afternoon.
According to Lewentz, he had apparently run over people in a targeted manner.
Five passers-by were killed, including a baby just a few weeks old.
18 other people were injured, six of them seriously.
On Thursday, the city remembered the victims and their families with a minute's silence.
At 1:46 p.m. numerous citizens paused, at the same time the church bells were ringing throughout the city.

The man, who was drunk at the time of the crime, has been in custody since Wednesday.
Among other things, he is accused of multiple murders.
