34-year-old woman who was in critical condition since the attack died of injuries today.
One of six people injured when a man started a fire on a train carriage in Switzerland and stabbed passengers has died of her injuries, police said today.
Regional police in Switzerland's eastern canton of Saint Gallen said a 34-year-old woman who had been in critical condition since the attack on Saturday afternoon had died of her injuries today morning.
It was at around 2:20 pm (1220 GMT) on Saturday that a 27-year-old Swiss national used flammable liquid to start a fire on a moving train in eastern Switzerland before stabbing passengers.
The attack took place near Salez station on a train running between Buchs and Sennwald near Switzerland's eastern border with Liechtenstein and Austria.
The victims, who in addition to the 34-year-old woman included two men aged 17 and 50, two women aged 17 and 43 and a six-year-old girl, suffered burns and stab wounds.
One of the women and the child were in serious condition, police said.
Dozens of people were on the train at the time of the attack, police said.
The attacker, who suffered serious burns remains in critical condition, police spokesman Bruno Metzger told AFP
The woman who died had received a large portion of the flammable liquid over her, leading to speculation she might have been the main target of the attack.
But Metzger said he could not confirm that, and another police spokesman Hanspeter Kruesi told AFP late on Saturday it did not appear that the attack was directed at a single person.
He said it remained unclear if the attacker knew any of the victims.
