As the investigation of the knife attack in Turku a week ago continued, Finnish police on Saturday released a man detained on Wednesday, local media reported.

On Thursday they had released another detainee also arrested on Wednesday.

The continued detention of the two men will be submitted to a court approval next week. The suspicion was not so strong enough at a time.

Currently the police holds the main suspect and three others, all of whom are known as Moroccans.
