Like in the district court, a peer woman is also sentenced to ten years in prison for aiding and abetting murder.

The Svea Court of Appeal also sentences a man who was 17 years old at the time of the shooting for aiding and abetting the murder. He is sentenced to eight years in prison. In the district court, he was acquitted of involvement in the murder.

It was on September 13 last year that the 19-year-old victim was shot dead on a street in Vasastan. Private individuals on the scene provided first aid before he was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

The shooter is said to have had extensive contacts with another person who is believed to have instigated the murder. The background, according to the district court, is an internal conflict within the criminal Foxtrot network.
