The boy was seriously injured during the night in Örkelljunga, but his life could not be saved.

– We were alerted to a fight between young people just after midnight outside at an underpass and when we got to the scene we found a boy under 18 who was seriously injured. Unfortunately, he died on arrival at the hospital, says Thomas Söderberg, duty officer at police region South to TT.

Several people were at the scene, which has now been cordoned off.

The police have arrested two suspected perpetrators, both of whom are minors.
