The 15-year-old boy who is suspected of having shot a classmate at a school is now also suspected of preparation for murder.
The suspicions apply to an incident other than the one at the school, the prosecutor states.
“It is based on information that emerged in connection with the investigation of the incident at the school and has led to a new preliminary investigation regarding the new crime,” writes prosecutor Kajsa Lindberg in an email to TT.
Lindberg sent in a petition on Wednesday that the boy should be detained for those suspicions as well.
According to the suspicions in the arrest warrant, the murder preparations took place between September 1 and 4 at an unknown location in Stockholm County.
The boy is already in custody for attempted murder, suspected of having shot a boy of the same age at the Trångsund school south of Stockholm on September 4. The shooting occurred in a restricted area where no one other than those involved were present.
The 15-year-old was arrested the same day and has since been detained. The prosecutor has requested that the detention be extended for two weeks.
The boy who was shot was unharmed.
The detention hearing will take place on Wednesday afternoon.
