In December last year, six teenage boys were shot by one or more individuals in a residential area in Hovsjö, Södertälje. Three of them were shot, one of whom, a 16-year-old boy, was seriously injured after being hit in the head.

The 20-year-old shooter is now sentenced to life imprisonment and deportation for attempted murder, according to Länstidningen Södertälje and SVT Södertälje. Four people are sentenced for gross obstruction of justice.

A 16-year-old who was arrested near the crime scene is sentenced to two years of closed youth care for aiding and abetting attempted murder.

According to information in several media outlets, the police suspect that a conflict between two criminal networks in the city is behind the shooting. The conflict broke out last autumn after a split in the so-called Södertälje network.
