A man in his 35s was shot to death during Friday evening in Alvesta. The shooting took place in a staircase in an apartment building. Later in the evening, another man of the same age was found dead in an apartment at the same address. A weapon was also found at the scene, which has been seized by the police.
The police suspect no links to gang crime.
We are not looking for more perpetrators at present. We refer to the second deceased as a suspect and the first as a plaintiff, says the police's press spokesperson Sara Andersson on Saturday evening.
The preliminary investigation into the murder continues to clarify the sequence of events. This includes both technical investigation and new interviews with witnesses.
We have certain tracks that we are working on, says the police's press spokesperson Thomas Johansson, who does not want to say anything about what tracks they are.
It is unclear what relationship the two men had to each other – but the police are also looking closer at that.
They live at the same address, that is the obvious relationship, says Thomas Johansson.
