The killer has been named as 18-year-old Ali David Sonboly by German media

It has been revealed Sonboly was undergoing psychological treatment for mental illness and was obsessed with mass-shootings.

German investigators say there is an “obvious link” between Friday’s shooting at a Munich mall and far-right Norwegian killer AndersBehring Breivik.

“The link is obvious,” said Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae, describing the gunman as obsessed with mass killings.

He added the killer researched the theme of rampages and may have researched Breivik’s lethal killing spree.

Friday’s carnage came on the @fth anniversary of right-wing fanatic Breivik’s massacre in Norway that killed 77 people, many of themyoungsters.

A friend told BILD newspaper Sonboly had a picture of Breivik as his Whatsapp pro@le image, and said he was a “fan of massmurders”.

The German prosecutor also revealed he had a book on shootings entitled “Rampage in Head: Why Students Kill” in his bedroom.

“So far we have no data about him being a criminal. In 2010, he was recorded for involvement with youngsters and regarding aburglary.”

The teen shot dead nine people - nearly all of whom were aged between 14 and 21 - before turning the gun on himself.

His motive remains unclear but police are probing a video taken of the attack, where the gunman complains of being "bullied forseven years".

Uncon@rmed reports also claim he has links to far-right German group PEGIDA.

Twenty-one people were injured in the killings, 16 of whom were still being treated in hospital. Three are in a critical condition.

Peter Beck, a Munich police spokesman, said of@cers were still collecting evidence at the scene of the crime Saturday morning.

"With regard to the suspect we have to examine everything, but we don't know yet what triggered the crime," Beck told TheAssociated Press.

During a press conference this morning, Munich Police President Hubertus Andrae con@rmed the force were probing a Facebookpage.

It is believed the post was offering free food at the McDonald's at the same time the gunman began his shooting spree.

Police found what is thought to be the killer's body wearing a red backpack in an alley around a kilometre from the OlympiaEinkaufszentrum shopping complex.

They have not yet con@rmed his identity but con@rmed the killer had no past criminal record.

A robot was sent to inspect the corpse.

Dieter Reiter says the city is "shocked and aghast at this terrible act".

In a statement Saturday on Facebook, Reiter expressed his condolences to the victims, their family and friends, and thanked securityforces for their work.

Hesaid Saturday would be "a day of mourning, not of celebration" and that all public festivals in the city over the weekend had beencancelled.
