Mohamed from Nässjö lived in an HVB home and had run away together with his friend Layth two years ago. Mohamed was still alive when his mother alerted the police and appealed for help to find her missing son.
His phone could be tracked to Gubbängen in Stockholm where he was held captive in an apartment and is believed to have been assaulted for several hours, but the police did not try to track him. No report or missing person alert was made and the police joked in internal conversations about calling Mohamed's mom and speaking their "best Somali" instead of questioning her with the help of an interpreter, which P4 Jönköping revealed in April this year.
The two 14-year-olds were found murdered, severely assaulted, at two different locations outside Stockholm in July and August 2023. Several men in the criminal network Foxtrot are charged with the murders and the verdict will be announced today.
Several politicians in the justice committee have reacted to the police's actions and today the Minister of Justice and the National Police Commissioner will be questioned in the justice committee about the investigation.
One naturally wonders if one could have prevented this and one wonders how the police work to prevent this from happening again, says member Ulrika Westerlund (Green party) to P4 Jönköping.
