Prosecution: Men in their 50s took on murder missions in Eskilstuna

A 35-year-old man was fatally shot several times in Årby, Eskilstuna, in August 2024. Several people are now facing charges.

The same perpetrators, two men in their 50s, shot and wounded a 19-year-old man in the Lagersberg district the next day, according to the indictment. They are now charged with murder and attempted murder, according to a press release from the Prosecution Authority.

"The two shooters acted on assignment under 'crime as a service' and are considered to have no connection to the plaintiffs," says prosecutor Tobias Lindholm in a comment.

A 26-year-old man is charged with instigation, and a 30-year-old man is charged with aiding and abetting. Two women in their 30s are also charged with aggravated protection of a criminal.

No motive has been established in the investigation.
