A 16-year-old boy is arrested, suspected of having ordered a murder in Skurup last year, reports Ystads Allehanda.

The boy is suspected of instigating the murder of a 50-year-old man who was shot to death on August 10, as well as gross unlawful threats and two cases of attempted instigation to murder.

Another man is already suspected of having ordered the murder and is arrested in absentia.

Four boys under the age of 15 are suspected of having taken on the murder assignment for payment. Two of them are suspected of murder and two of aiding and abetting murder.

The murdered man was a relative of a person whom the prosecutor suspects the instigators wanted to avenge.
