The nine-year-old boy killed when a car ploughed through a crowd at a German Christmas market on Friday has been pictured for the first time.

André Gleißner died alongside four adult women when a car drove through a Christmas market in Magdeburg on Friday night.

The women, aged 45 to 75 were also killed in the vicious attack, with a further 200 injured.

Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old doctor who arrived in Germany in 2006, is being held on suspicion of the attack and appeared in court on Saturday night.

Germany was warned “four times” about the extremist views of the Magdeburg car attack suspect, Saudi Arabian officials say.

Abdulmohsen has been charged with five counts of murder and a slew of attempted murder charges.
