  • Rescue operation at watercourses in Solna

  • Expert: Historic increase in fatal shootings

    The fatal shooting in Rinkeby on Christmas Day was the sixty-second this year. The increase in deadly conflicts is historically large, says Manne Gerell, researcher at Malmö University.

    – We have an increase of 38 percent compared to last year and 30 percent compared to the worst year we have seen. It is rare to see such big changes. Although the numbers are low, from 45 to 62, it is a very large increase, he tells TT.

    There is no clear answer to why so many have been shot dead this year. One hypothesis that is highlighted is that the gangs have been pressured by the large crackdowns that the police have carried out against the drug trade.

    – Something has happened. It has gotten worse, but exactly why is hard to say, says Manne Gerell.
