Court extends detention of Utrecht tram shooting suspect
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Dutch court has extended the detention of the 37-year-old man suspected of opening fire in a tram in the central city of Utrecht, in an attack that killed four passengers.
The suspect, 37-year-old Gokmen Tanis, appeared at a behind-closed-doors hearing Thursday where his detention was extended by 90 days.
Tanis has been charged with murder with terrorist intent and other offenses after he allegedly opened fire in a tram in Utrecht on March 18. Prosecutors have said that Tanis confessed to the shooting and said he acted alone, but they are still investigating his motive.
