A two-year-old baby and her mother have died after a car was rammed into a group of people in Munich on Thursday.
The 37-year-old mother from Munich and her daughter are the first fatalities from the incident, German police said on Saturday.
At least 36 people were injured in the Thursday morning attack.
The suspect, a 24-year-old Afghan national, was detained at the scene.
He is known as Farhad N and has lived in Munich since he arrived as an unaccompanied minor in 2016, and has no previous convictions.
Prosecutors confirmed he is now under investigation on 36 counts of attempted murder, as well as bodily harm and dangerous interference with road traffic.
They said he appeared to have had an Islamic extremist motive, though there was no evidence he was connected to any radical network.
