The 23-year-old was shot to death when he was out walking a dog in Växjö on an October night last year. A total of six shots were fired, primarily at the 23-year-old's head.

A 21-year-old man, identified as the leader of a criminal network in the city, is convicted of the murder. A total of six shots were fired in quick succession at close range, primarily at the victim's head.

According to the verdict, the sentence will be life imprisonment "since the shooting appears to be a pure execution".

It's about the way this was carried out and the injuries that can be seen on the victim, says prosecutor Tommy Sköld.

It has been proven that the network was involved in drug sales in Växjö and that the motive for the murder is linked to the network's activities.

It's part of the motive. The victim had also reported this person in the network for a robbery. These are the two explanations we have been able to see.

The gang leader confessed to the murder in a conversation that the police recorded as part of a secret room surveillance. In the conversation, he described the sequence of events in detail, writes Växjö District Court in a press release.
