At the time of the shooting at the sports facility in Älvsjö on Friday evening, floorball and football matches were being played nearby, with many people present. On Saturday evening, it was announced that the woman who was shot had died of her injuries.
The investigation is now trying to establish what was behind the shooting.
“The short answer is that we don’t know the motive, but we have some leads we are looking into. We haven’t got far enough in the investigation to determine a motive,” Tigerstrand tells TT.
“A completely ordinary woman”
Is there any known threat against this woman?
“I don’t know of any threat. My impression so far is that she’s a completely ordinary woman,” he says.
Lee Orberson, district director of Hägersten-Älvsjö, said on Saturday that the woman was an employee in the municipality’s youth activities.
Two men in their late teens have been arrested on suspicion of murder.
“They are suspected of having committed this crime together,” says Tigerstrand.
Arrested in Flemingsberg
According to the prosecutor, the suspects were arrested in Flemingsberg, south of Stockholm, at 4:30 a.m. on Saturday. Both deny any wrongdoing.
“They are not from Stockholm. As far as we have been able to determine so far, they do not seem to know the victim,” says Tigerstrand.
No additional people have been detained, but the prosecutor does not rule out that more people may be involved.
“We are investigating whether there could be more. In similar cases, we have often concluded that more people were involved than just the person who committed the crime.”
The prosecutor must decide by noon on Tuesday whether to request that the suspects be remanded in custody.
