A horse has been shot in a paddock in Mölndal outside Gothenburg during the night.
– It’s an odd case, you can safely say. I have never been involved in this before, says Thomas Fuxborg at the police to Aftonbladet.
The police received an alarm at 02:35 that shots had been fired. At the scene, the police found shell casings in the horse paddock – and shortly afterwards it was established that a horse had been shot.
The horse was alive and taken to an animal hospital. Exactly what type of weapon was fired is unclear.
A report of serious weapons crime and animal cruelty has been drawn up.
– At the moment, we do not have any suspects. We have the sleeves to go on. We’ll see where the investigation leads, says Thomas Fuxborg.
