Kiev, Rabi' II 1, 1438, December 30, 2016, SPA -- Ukrainian police arrested a 31-year-old man today accused of killing a woman and her daughter, and who they also suspect was planning to mow down citizens with a truck, like the attacks on the Berlin Christmas market and in Nice. Police said the man had murdered two people in a village in the southern Odessa region before setting fire to two houses and then escaping in a stolen truck and hiding in an abandoned home before officers caught him. Based on information they had received from a friend of the man, police said he was planning to run over a large crowd of people with the truck. The attack in the German capital days before Christmas killed a dozen people and injured 56, while a similar incident in Nice, France, on Bastille Day killed 86 people and injured more than 400. -- SPA 18:29 LOCAL TIME 15:29 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w301644
