16-year-old Swede in court in Copenhagen

According to the prosecutor, a 16-year-old Swedish boy traveled all the way from Luleå last spring to carry out a murder assignment in Denmark. On Tuesday, he will be brought before the court in Copenhagen's city court (district court).

According to the Danish prosecution authority, the 16-year-old was stopped by Swedish police at the first attempt to enter Denmark in April last year. He was sent back to Luleå, but five days later he traveled to Denmark again.

A 30-year-old woman is charged with having received the boy at Copenhagen Airport on the evening of April 22, providing him with a pistol and ten cartridges and driving him to another part of Copenhagen.

According to the indictment, the plan was for the teenager to shoot one or more people connected to the Comanches motorcycle gang's clubhouse in Brøndby. However, there was no shooting, as the clubhouse was empty.

Both the woman and the boy deny any wrongdoing.

Last week, the trial began against another Swedish teenager, who is also charged with having taken on the assignment to murder one or more people at the same clubhouse. He was arrested by Danish police on April 16.

In both cases, a 21-year-old Swedish man is suspected of having acted as an intermediary in connection with the recruitment of the youths.
