The suspect in a car-ramming in the German city of Leipzig that left two people dead does not appear to have had any political or religious motive, but had spent time recently at a psychiatric hospital, investigators said.

The 33-year-old German man was arrested on Monday afternoon in the car that authorities say he had driven several hundred metres through a street in a busy central shopping area.
