The man in his 70s who is suspected of having murdered a man of the same age in Växjö has been detained by the district court, local media reports.
– He has not indicated any attitude but admitted the actual circumstances, says prosecutor Annie Runander Smålandsposten.
It was around 18:00 on Tuesday that the police received a call about gunfire in the Teleborg district. Witnesses heard several shots and the man was found shot dead at the scene. The shooting took place near the murdered man’s home.
The now suspected man was first wanted and arrested in his absence, but was arrested under undramatic conditions on Wednesday. Police and prosecutors have so far not wanted to say what motive is suspected to be behind the crime.
