Three teenagers arrested on suspicion of murder after fatal Hässelby shooting

Three teenagers, aged 15 to 19, have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a man who was shot to death in Hässelby, western Stockholm, on Friday, prosecutors said. The suspects are between 15 and 19 years old.

All three were arrested on suspicion of murder and aggravated weapons offenses. They were arrested on probable cause, the higher level of suspicion of a crime.

The District Court has determined that there are grounds for detention, says Public Prosecutor Sarah Mattsson to TT.

Preliminary investigation secrecy prevails and she cannot provide any details from the investigation.

We check information in the investigation and collect various information and evidence.

The shooting, which took place outdoors in a residential area, was reported shortly before 8 p.m. on Friday. The man who was shot was taken to hospital by ambulance helicopter, but his life could not be saved.

The three teenagers were arrested on Saturday.
