He has previously been sentenced to nine years in prison in Sweden for one murder and two attempted murders.

At the time of the incident in the hair salon in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen in April 2024, he was 17 years old.

He arrived there masked and armed with the mission to kill a man. But the intended murder victim locked the door and disappeared through the back door. The Swede pointed his gun at two customers to get them to open it, but they did not.

Correction: A previous version contained an incorrect description of the crime at the hair salon.
