A 17-year-old boy from Malmö has been detained on suspicion of complicity in the fatal shooting in Vasastan in September.


The youth is already suspected and charged with the attempted murder of a relative of Rawa Majid, early in the morning on September 13 in Uppsala.

Later the same day, a 19-year-old man with a gunshot wound was found in Vasastan. The man later died from his injuries. Now the 17-year-old has been remanded in custody for involvement in that crime as well, as a suspect of aiding and abetting murder.

The prosecutor has requested restrictions during the detention period and believes that there is a risk that the suspect can destroy evidence.

The 17-year-old suspect denies the allegations and also opposes the restrictions.
