The 41-year-old man was shot to death on an open street in Södertälje.
Police believe it was a botched shooting, that the victim just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
– I sat and watched TV. Then I heard the shots. I immediately understood that there was something wrong, says Åke, who lives near the murder scene.
It was one evening in October last year, when Åke was sitting on the couch watching Postcode Millionaire that he heard how the man was shot. The murder took place a stone’s throw from Åke’s house.
In the Aftonbladet Krim podcast, Åke talks about his experience. It wasn’t the shots that were the worst.
– What remains in my memory to the highest degree are the screams that followed, the screams in agony. They went on for several minutes.
– It remains. They can never be removed. It doesn’t work, says Åke.
