Another teenage boy was arrested this afternoon. He is suspected of being an accessory to murder and to preparation for murder, prosecutor Lukas Tigerstrand told TT.
Two boys, aged 16 and 17, were taken into custody this afternoon on suspicion of murdering a 24-year-old woman who was shot at a sports hall in Älvsjö on Friday evening.
At the time of the shooting at the sports facility in Älvsjö on Friday evening, floorball and football matches were being played nearby, with many people present. On Saturday evening, it was announced that the woman had died from her injuries.
“Two separate suspicions”
The investigation over the weekend has shown that there are probable grounds to believe that these two guys, who were arrested on suspicion of murder, were also involved in preparing to commit murder against another person.
Against another person?
Exactly. Those are two separate suspicions. And the man we arrested this afternoon is suspected of being an accessory to both of those crimes.
The arrested teenagers deny any wrongdoing. According to information provided to SVT Nyheter, the boys have no known gang connections, but Tigerstrand does not want to confirm this.
We are not commenting on those issues at this time. It is something we are investigating.
“A completely ordinary person”
There are no signs to suggest that the murdered woman was connected to any criminal network.
"I didn't know who she was until Saturday. And so far my impression is that she is a completely ordinary person who has worked with young people in southern Stockholm. I haven't been able to see so far that she has any connection to the criminal environment," Tigerstrand told TT.
A third person has now been arrested.
We are currently identifying the people involved. The person who was arrested this afternoon will be questioned at the police station.
Could more people be arrested?
We are always looking at whether there could be more people. But we will see how that question turns out.
