Three people have been arrested in Denmark as suspects for having equipped two Swedes with a pistol prior to a murder attempt in Copenhagen in July.

The murder attempt on the island of Amager is believed to have targeted one or more persons in the criminal gang Loyal to familia.

On Tuesday, the suspects were brought before a detention judge in the Copenhagen court (district court). Two of them, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old, were already being held in custody due to other criminal suspicions. These relate to having assisted another Swedish citizen who came to Denmark to commit murder, reports the news agency Ritzau. The third, a 20-year-old man, was arrested on Monday.
