Boy suspected of taking murder mission to Copenhagen

A teenage boy from Jönköping is suspected of having traveled to Copenhagen to commit murder. He is now being charged in Jönköping District Court with preparing to commit murder and aggravated weapons offenses, according to P4 Jönköping.

In September last year, the now 16-year-old boy was captured on several surveillance cameras along the route to Denmark.

Once in Copenhagen, the boy is said to have contacted his clients via encrypted chats, in which a plan to murder a person was discussed. Among the evidence are photos showing the boy had a firearm in Denmark.

However, the suspected assassination mission was never carried out, and he was arrested a few days after returning to Sweden. The police have not been able to determine who the target was.

The boy denies the allegations but admits he has been to Denmark and visited friends, his lawyer tells P4 Jönköping.
