“The Tampere district court has remanded in custody, upon the National Bureau of Investigation’s (NBI) request, two men who are suspected of 11 murders with terrorist intent,” the NBI said in a statement after the hearing, which was held in Finland’s southern city of Tampere on Friday.
The NBI’s Chief Inspector Jari Raty said that a central piece of evidence used at the trial was a video purportedly showing the two men taking part in executions by Daesh in the north-central Iraq city of Tikrit last year.
“The nature of the crime is visible in the video... They (the suspects) were not hooded,” he said. “The victims were lying on the ground and they were shot one by one,” the official had told Finnish public broadcaster YLE earlier.
