The trial against four individuals accused of involvement in three murders in southern Stockholm last autumn is taking a pause. At the same time, the prosecutor believes the evidence is strong and the four should remain in custody.

It was on October 12 last year that a 40-year-old father of small children was shot dead in a villa in Västberga. The following evening, two women, one in her 20s and one in her 60s, were shot dead in a villa in Tullinge.

A 17-year-old boy, 16 years old at the time of the murders, is accused of the murders. The three others are suspected of instigation, respectively, and attempted murder.

The Södertörn District Court has decided that all four should remain in custody, and that two of them should undergo a forensic psychiatric examination. The examinations will provide a basis for sentencing, but may also be relevant to the question of intent.

According to the prosecutor, the evidence is convincing.

"Since the court has found that there is convincing evidence regarding the accused's actions, it has been decided that a forensic psychiatric examination of the 17-year-old and 16-year-old will be conducted," says Chief Prosecutor Sofia Jungstedt in a press release.

Previously, a so-called paragraph 7 examination was conducted, where it was assessed that it can be suspected that they suffer from a serious mental disorder.

The main trial is expected to continue in early August 2024 when the results of the examinations have been received by the district court.
