Police in Finland say a knifeman who killed two people in the south-western city of Turku on Friday appeared to choose women as targets.
They are treating the attack as a terrorist incident.
The suspect, arrested after being shot by police, is an 18-year-old Moroccan. Four other Moroccans have been held.
The two people stabbed to death were both Finnish. Eight people were also injured, among them a Briton, a Swede and an Italian.
The ages of the casualties ranged from 15 to 67, police said, but gave no more details.

All Abrahamic religions are misogynistic but Islam is the worst.
Of course, you won't see a word of outrage about this attack here...
