Two men accused of having helped the alleged perpetrator in the weekend's shootings in the Danish capital of Copenhagen were on Monday remanded in custody for 10 days by a court here.
After a preliminary hearing held early Monday in the courthouse Dommervagten in central Copenhagen, the judge remanded the two in custody for 10 days without isolation.
The two were arrested on Sunday as police carried out extensive search operations in the Copenhagen area.
They are accused of having helped the gunman "with word and deed" in the attacks at a cultural center and a synagogue, the Copenhagen Police said in a statement on Monday.
Apart from charges of complicity in murder, attempted murder and aggravated assault, the pair are also accused of having violated the weapons section in the Danish Criminal Code by keeping loaded firearms.
The weekend's two shooting incidents in Copenhagen left two civilians dead and five police officers wounded. The 22-year-old gunman, who was born in Denmark, was shot dead in police operation. Enditem
