A 17-year-old boy is charged with having prepared the murder of a school student in Blekinge, local media reports.
At the end of January, he had a knife in his backpack when he came to a school in Olofström. The plan must have been to kill a female student of the same age, according to the prosecutor.
When he arrived at the school, he was purposefully searching for the teenage girl and had his hand on or in her backpack, according to the lawsuit. He was stopped by school staff who turned him away from the school grounds, as he was not a student there himself.
