A 16-year-old friend of the gunman who killed nine people in Munich on Friday has been arrested by police.

Investigators say the Afghan teenager is suspected of knowing about David Ali Sonboly's planned attack and failing to report it.

Munich Police added that the arrested youth may have played a role in a Facebook post which invited people to a meeting place in the city centre.

The nine people who died, most of them teenagers, were not classmates of the 18-year-old attacker.

Earlier, detectives confirmed Sonboly had bought the gun used in his rampage on the dark web, and had been plotting the shooting for more than a year.

Thirty-five people were injured in the shooting spree, with 10 severely injured and three in a critical condition.

Police have described Sonboly as a deranged Iranian-German who was fixated with mass killings but not inspired by Islamist militancy.

In the run-up to his attack, he had visited the site of a school shooting in Winnenden to take photographs, and he was also an avid player of first-person shoot-em-up video games.
