Two women and a man were shot dead within a day in their homes in southern Stockholm. Now, a 17-year-old boy is being prosecuted for the three murders and a 15-year-old for incitement.

The first crime occurred on the night of October 12 last year, when a 40-year-old father of small children was shot dead in a villa in Västberga.

In the house, there was also a woman and the couple's two small children. The woman, who was holding one of the children, was seriously injured in connection with the shooting. The child was also hit by a bullet and was lightly injured.

The next evening, two women, one in their 20s and one in their 60s, were shot dead in a villa in Tullinge. There were also four other people, including three children, in the house.

The boy, who was then 16 years old, was arrested in a taxi just minutes after the double murder. A gun was also found in a bag in the taxi, an automatic rifle.

The 17-year-old is now being prosecuted for three murders and seven attempted murders.

A 15-year-old boy is being prosecuted for incitement to all three murders. A 22-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl, 15 years old at the time of the murders, are being prosecuted for aiding and attempting to commit murder.

"The 15-year-old boy is the one who hired the shooter and also acquired the weapon used in the shootings. The 15-year-old has also provided a so-called 'hideout', a hiding place under the time when the shooter would perform these tasks," says prosecutor Helena Nordstrand in a press release.

Both the 15-year-old and the 17-year-old had left a residential home for youth at the time of the murders.

The crimes are linked to the Foxtrot network. According to the indictment, the 22-year-old had a tattoo at home, a symbol described as a symbol for the network and gang leader Rawa Majid, known as "The Kurdish Fox".

The family in Västberga is said not to have any connection to gang crime. One theory is, according to several media, that the family shares a surname with a person the perpetrators wanted to target.

At the address in Tullinge, a man was registered as having a family connection to a gang criminal person involved in the Foxtrot conflict.
