The investigation into the murder of Salwan Momika continues, but no one is detained since the five people who were arrested shortly after the fatal shooting were released on Friday.

According to prosecutor Rasmus Öman, the five are not entirely ruled out of the case.

Formally, the suspicions have not been dropped, we still have some information left to check, or certain things related to them that need to be checked. Then I will take a stand on whether the suspicions can be completely written off, he says.

The 38-year-old Momika, who became internationally known and subsequently received a very large threat against him after several high-profile Quran burnings in Sweden, was shot to death in his home in Södertälje at 23 o'clock on Wednesday last week.

The murder is said to have occurred at the same time as he was broadcasting live on Tiktok, and people who followed the broadcast have in interviews told about hearing bangs in connection with him going out onto the balcony to smoke.

On Sunday, Expressen was able to show how part of a windscreen above the balcony where Momika is said to have been shot dead had been sawed off by the police.

I cannot comment on the investigation or the investigative measures that have been taken, says Öman regarding the windscreen.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (The Moderate Party) said during a press conference last week about the murder investigation that "the security services are deeply involved since it is obvious that there is a risk that there is a connection to foreign power", but when asked, prosecutor Rasmus Öman emphasizes that it still lies with the police and not Säpo.
