As we reported earlier, a GoFundMe page has been set up to raise donations for the family of nine-year-old victim Andre Gleissner. 

The page, set up by a family friend, was initially closed for donations after almost 鈧�50,000 was raised. 

But the organiser has said in a new update that they have reopened the page for donations after receiving a flood of requests from the public. 

They said Andre's family is planning to pass on a large part of the donations to the other victims who died or were injured in the attack. 

More than 鈧�70,000 has now been raised. 

After the carnage at the Magdeburg Christmas market, there are now questions about whether something was missed.

Could the man accused of killing five and injuring more than 200 others have been stopped?

The questions come after it was revealed Taleb A, as he's being called by German media, had been flagged to authorities before.

Heavily armed police officers are continuing to patrol the scene of Friday's attack. 

A cordon remains around the site as investigations continue. 

Two days after the deadly attack, debris remains strewn across the scene in Magdeburg, 

Police officers guard the Christmas market area, where a car was driven into crowds celebrating the festive season on Friday evening. 

A splintered bar table still lies in front of the concrete barricades, next to torn syringe packaging and a ventilator. 

Unused pressure bandages brought by paramedics sit on top of a rubbish bag. 

Some belongings have been left behind by those at the market, including a single black children's glove and a beige hiking shoe.

A bloodied tissue is discarded on the ground. 

A German investigative journalist has said there were "quite a few warnings" about suspect Taleb A before he allegedly killed five people in this week's attack. 

Tim Roehn, head of investigations at Welt, told Sky News the suspect was "not an unknown guy" and "underwent this radicalisation in plain sight". 

He said the alleged attacker had "gained some recognition as a critic of Islam" and an opponent of the regime in Saudi Arabia, and had given media interviews to big news outlets. 

"Between all those statements there are repeated messages that Germany would pay a huge price because he and other secular Arabs have been betrayed, in his words," Mr Roehn said. 

"He talked about maybe dying this year, he talked about taking revenge.

"It is quite shocking to see what this person had said publicly before this attack happened." 

Mr Roehn said his team also discovered a "strange email" that was meant for the police in Berlin warning about Taleb A. 

The person who sent the email was from Saudi Arabia and had warned the suspect was an "imminent danger", the journalist said. 

They had provided police with his name and address, but the email did not arrive with police in the German capital of Berlin - instead it was mistakenly sent to a small village called Berlin in New Jersey, America. 

It's unclear whether the email was forwarded to German authorities or not.

Sky News has not seen the email and therefore cannot independently verify details about it. 

Mr Roehn said German federal police had been looking into Taleb A a few months ago and had considered approaching him. 

However, they later decided he was not a threat and "left him alone". 

Two local fire brigades have paid tribute to Andre Gleissner, the nine-year-old killed in the attack. 

The Sch枚ppenstedt fire department said Andre was a member of the children's fire brigade in Warle. 

It said the nine-year-old "left us much too soon". 

"Our thoughts are with Andr茅s' relatives, who we also want to support during this difficult time," it said, sharing a donation appeal. 

The Lower Saxony youth fire brigade also paid tribute to Andre, saying: "Our condolences go out to his family, his friends and everyone who was close to him.

"We stand by their side in these difficult times and express our deepest sympathy."

A German official has said police previously had contact with the suspect accused of driving into crowds at a Christmas market and killing five people. 

Christian Pegel, interior minister for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, said authorities have been looking for relevant information about the suspect, named in German media as Taleb A. 

The 50-year-old, whose surname is being withheld due to German laws, spent time in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern between 2011 and January 2016. 

Mr Pegel said this was likely part of his training to qualify as a specialised doctor. 

The official then detailed two incidents where the suspect had contact with police. 

Suspect 'made reference to Boston Marathon bombing'

In April 2023, Taleb A was charged with a "disturbance of public order for threatening to commit criminal acts". 

Mr Pegel said this was probably "in the context of a dispute with the Chamber of Physicians", but the suspect had "threatened to do something that would attract international attention" and referred to the Boston Marathon bombing. 

Three people were killed in the 2013 attack when two homemade pressure-cooker bombs were detonated at the marathon's finishing line. 

A warrant was issued to search Taleb A's flat but "no evidence of any kind was found that would indicate actual preparations to commit such an act nor was there any evidence at all of Islamist tendencies". 

Doctor said he would do something 'people would long remember'

In a separate incident the following year, the suspect contacted a public authority in Stralsund asking for financial support for his living costs. 

Mr Pegel said: "The information that we have is that while trying to obtain this funding, in seeking to obtain support for his request, he said he would carry out actions that would attract international attention and that people would long remember." 

A radicalisation review discussion - which is used when police believe someone may be a potential threat - was then held with the suspect. 

He was told at the time that authorities would be keeping an eye on him, Mr Pegel said. 

On Friday evening, a Saudi doctor allegedly drove his car into a packed Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg. 

Four women and a nine-year-old boy were killed and 200 people were injured. 

Here is what we know so far about what happened. 

How did the attack unfold?

Shortly after 7pm, a dark-coloured BMW hire car barrelled into crowds gathered at the Magdeburg Christmas market. 

Witnesses said they saw the car hurtle towards people near the city hall, driving in a zig-zag for about 400m. 

Thi Linh Chi Nguyen, who works at a salon near the market, said she was on the phone during a break when she heard loud bangs that she thought were fireworks at first. 

She then saw a car drive through the market at high speed. 

People screamed and a child was thrown into the air by the vehicle, she said.

The 34-year-old recalled seeing the car bursting out of the market and turning right on to Ernst-Reuter-Allee street and then coming to a standstill at a tram stop where the suspect was arrested.

Who are the victims? 

Police have confirmed those killed were four women, aged 45, 52, 67 and 75, and a nine-year-old boy, who has been named as Andre Gleissner.

A further 200 people were injured, including 41 who are said to be in serious condition. 

They are being treated in multiple hospitals in Magdeburg. 

Who is the suspect?

Several German media outlets have identified the suspect as 50-year-old Taleb A, withholding his last name in line with German privacy laws.

They say he was a doctor who specialised in psychiatry and psychotherapy and had lived in Germany since 2006. 

The suspect, originally from Saudi Arabia, is under investigation on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and bodily harm.

Social media posts apparently shared by the suspect describe him as a former Muslim. 

He has shared anti-Muslim views and was highly critical of German authorities, voicing support for the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. 

People have come out to pay their respects to the five killed in this week's attack in Magdeburg. 

One of those who laid tributes was Constanze Schroete, who said she was "deeply shocked". 

"It's taken its toll on me. I'm horrified that something like this can happen," she said. 

Ms Schroete said it "makes no sense at all" how the attack could have been carried out despite the introduction of bollards and safety precautions. 

Another mourner, Michael Klippel, said: 'I think it's really, really, really bad. Our daughter sent me this message on Friday evening and I thought she was here too. 

"I was really shocked. I was exhausted. I was really shattered. This is incomprehensible. It's incomprehensible."
