According to the investigation, the man was killed in connection with the fact that he and another man attempted to collect a claimed debt at a residence in Härryda municipality east of Gothenburg on Christmas Eve last year.
When the men arrived at the house, several shots were fired at them, one of which hit the 34-year-old in the head. He was then found dead in a car in the neighboring municipality of Bollebygd.
The suspected shooter is now charged with murder, attempted murder, aggravated weapons crime, and aggravated desecration of a corpse. At the same time, two other men are charged with, among other things, aggravated desecration of a corpse.
“I mean that two of the men together and in agreement moved the deceased body and set fire to the car with the body inside. The crime is serious because they severely damaged the body and thereby made it more difficult to identify and investigate the body,” says deputy prosecutor Malin Melin in a press release.
A decisive find – a modified tear gas pistol with traces from the suspected shooter – was made with the help of a metal detector near the house where the murder occurred.
