HANAU, Germany

Families of the victims are still awaiting justice, asking the German government to keep its promises to enlighten the 2020 Hanau terror attack.

Hayrettin Saracoglu, the brother of Fatih Saracoglu, who was among the killed during the racist terror attack in Hanau, told Anadolu that the case has yet to be enlightened although three years have passed since then.

He said all questions related to the deadly terror attack remain unanswered.

Many promises and lots of speeches have been made, but there is still no result, he said, adding that many questions are still unanswered.

Saracoglu stressed that questions such as "why did the police go to the murderer's house late?", "why wasn't the emergency phone picked up?" and "how did the killer hold a firearms license if he was mentally ill?" need to be answered by authorities.

On Feb. 19, 2020, far-right extremist Tobias Rathjen attacked two cafes in the city of Hanau, killing nine young people and injuring five others. All the victims had migrant backgrounds.

Before the attack, the far-right extremist posted videos on the internet, detailing his xenophobic views. He later killed his mother and himself.

On Sunday, a commemoration ceremony was held in Germany to mark the third anniversary of the racist terror attack in Hanau, which claimed the lives of nine people, including four Turks.
