A 67-year-old man on Gotland is being charged with shooting another man in the face with a shotgun during the Midsummer weekend.

It was on Midsummer's Day this summer that the murdered man was found and the police arrested the suspected murderer in a major police operation. The deceased and the suspect are said to have known each other for some time.

The 67-year-old denies any wrongdoing. According to the indictment, he first called a witness and claimed that the deceased had taken his own life by shooting himself with a shotgun. However, this explanation is contradicted by several witnesses and the forensic evidence.
