The three defendants are suspected of preparation for murder and serious weapons offenses.

I have just filed the charges. The cases are not being handled jointly, but it's the same plaintiff, says prosecutor Viktor Törneke.

This concerns an incident in Mölndal in July.

Regarding the shooting at Kungsmässan, several minors are suspected, including a 14-year-old boy who is suspected of being the shooter.

What lies behind the actions against the man, who is known to the police from before, is however unclear.

We have no clear motive in any of the cases, says Viktor Törneke.
