At the beginning of July, an 18-year-old man was shot to death in the district of Bjurhovda in Västerås. Now a person under the age of 18 has been arrested on suspicion of having shot the man dead, VLT reports.

Another person was detained earlier, on July 27, on suspicion of incitement to murder and aggravated weapons offences.

The man who is suspected of having held the weapon is also suspected of other crimes in Stockholm, says District Attorney Fredrik Ingblad, who leads the investigation, to VLT.

The suspected shooter denies any crime.
