The boy is sentenced in the Court of Appeal for preparation for murder and for aiding and abetting murder, as he also tried to get others to commit the murder in his place.
In questioning with the police, the boy has said that he felt pressured to take on the assignment.
– I did not dare to object, he said in questioning.
The boy was arrested at the central station in Stockholm when he was about to travel to Denmark.
Another 16-year-old boy was charged, but he was acquitted.
According to the district court’s previous ruling, it was also proven that a 14-year-old girl was guilty of aiding and abetting murder, but she could not be sentenced due to her young age.
