Three people are wanted in custody on suspicion of murder after the fatal shooting in Västerås in early November, reports SVT Västmanland.

Two of the suspects are teenage boys under the age of 18. The third is a man over 18 years of age.

Two other men over the age of 18 who have been detained in the case have been released.

– I had no reason to ask for them to be detained, says Karolin Hellsberg, prosecutor at the Västerås Prosecutor’s Chamber, to SVT.

It was on Tuesday 1 November that the police were alerted to a shooting in the district of Bäckby in Västerås. A man in his 20s was taken to hospital by ambulance but his life could not be saved.

Västmanland’s district court will decide on the detention on Friday, reports SVT.
