On the evening of 12 September 2020, a randomly-chosen man was fatally stabbed in a kebab restaurant in Morges, Vaud canton, Switzerland.[1] The accused, a Turkish-Swiss dual national, was known to the Swiss intelligence service as an Islamist and under surveillance for possible links to terrorism.[2][3] The victim was a 29-year-old Portuguese man.[4] While in custody of the Swiss police, the accused is alleged to have confessed that he acted in the name of jihadism.[1] Swiss authorities suspect a terrorist motive.[4]
