A 15-year-old Swedish boy is suspected of attempted murder in Denmark. He has been in custody since April for weapons possession and during a remand hearing on Wednesday, the court concluded that he is also suspected of attempted murder.

According to the prosecutor, he came to Denmark in April to murder one or more unidentified persons. During the remand hearing, the boy's defender stated that he denies the attempted murder.

The suspicions relate to an incident in Brøndby, Copenhagen, on 16 April, where the motorcycle club Comanches has its clubhouse. The 15-year-old was arrested the following day in Copenhagen with two firearms on him.

A 59-year-old man is also suspected of attempted murder and weapons offences in the same case, and according to the prosecutor, one or more additional persons are suspected to have been involved, but they are still at large.
