During interrogation, the suspect kept on saying, he did Jihad, he has done Jihad, he’s in right way, they (victims) are not human beings” the police spokesman said

The spokesman added that the suspect further revealed that his parents used to call him a mad man.

“He told police investigators this and other reasons led him to kill them. He said he had no regrets and that he is ready to face any law,” he added
