Four people are being prosecuted for the murder of a 35-year-old man in Västerås in November 2023.
In the same case, a so-called witness prosecution is also being brought against a 14-year-old person involved in the crime to determine if they also committed the murder, according to the prosecution authority.
"The crime has typical characteristics of a murder committed in a gang environment. The perpetrators are young and one was brought in from another part of Sweden solely to commit the crime", says Jessica Wenna, lead investigator and senior prosecutor in a press release.
"We have a good picture of how the crime was committed through the collective evidence, including information from phones and DNA matches", says Jessica Wenna.
