The person who is being requested to be detained for murder in three cases is the man in his 20s who has been detained on probable cause suspected of murder since Thursday. At the same time, I have decided to lift the detentions for the three men who have been detained suspected of instigation to murder and release those individuals, says prosecutor Andreas Nyberg in a press release.
Those who have been released are a man in his 25, a man in his 35, and a man in his 45. They are no longer detained, but according to the prosecutor, the preliminary investigation against them is still ongoing.
I have a duty of confidentiality, so I cannot comment at all. What I can say is that I read in the media that he was released before I found out myself, says lawyer Johan Grahn, who represents one of the men.
TT has sought out the other lawyers.

Another person, a man in his 20s who has been detained in absentia on probable cause suspected of aiding and abetting murder, has been arrested.
