The two who are now detained are a person under 18 years old and a man in his 20s. Both are suspected of aiding and abetting murder. They are detained on probable grounds, the lower degree of suspicion.

"Interrogations with the new detainees, together with their appointed defenders, will be held now during the weekend," says prosecutor Andreas Nyberg in a press release.

With Saturday's message, it means that six people are now detained in the case.

On Friday, the prosecutor announced that four people had been detained as suspects in the case. Three of them are detained on probable grounds for instigating murder and one person is detained on reasonable grounds suspected of murder.

The murder suspect is a man in his 20s. The other suspects are men in their 25-, 35-, and 45-year-olds. No decision has been made by the prosecutor regarding detention for any of the Prosecution Authority states.

Neither the police nor the prosecutor wants to comment on the information.

The alarm about the shooting at the salon near Vaksala Square in central Uppsala came in at 5 pm. Three people aged 15-20 were found on the spot.

At the latest on Monday at 12, the prosecutor must take a stand on whether the latest detainees should be requested to be detained or if they should be released on bail.

The investigation against a previously detained teenager has been dropped.

For three of the detainees, the deadline for detention requests expires on Sunday at 12:

Man in his 20s detained on reasonable grounds suspected of murder

Man in his 25s detained on probable grounds suspected of instigation to murder

Man in his 35s detained on probable grounds suspected of instigation to murder

For the other three detainees, the deadline expires on Monday at 12:

Man in his 45s detained on probable grounds suspected of instigation to murder

Man in his 20s detained on probable grounds suspected of aiding and abetting murder

Youth (under 18 years old) detained on probable grounds suspected of aiding and abetting murder
