Last December, six teenage boys were shot at by one or more people in a residential area in Hovsjö in Södertälje. Three of them were shot, one of whom was a 16-year-old boy seriously when he was hit in the head.
Now the 20-year-old shooter is sentenced to life imprisonment and deportation for attempted murder, reports Länstidningen Södertälje and SVT Södertälje. Four people are sentenced for aggravated protection of a criminal.
A 16-year-old who was arrested a short distance from the crime scene is sentenced to two years of closed youth care for aiding and abetting the attempted murder.
According to information in several media, the police suspect that a conflict between two criminal networks in the city is the basis for the shooting. The conflict broke out last autumn after a split in the so-called Södertälje network.
