On Monday, a Chemnitz court granted the police's request for the warrant for the arrest of two men, a Syrian citizen and an Iraqi national, suspected of dealing the deadly knife blows to the deceased.

Earlier this week, protest rallies were held in Chemnitz, where a 25-year old German national was killed on Sunday.

Far right activists participated in earlier protests: some of the slogans voiced at the rallies were against migrants.
