The 16-year-old shot the father of a small child to death
It was on October 12 that the then 16-year-old boy shot himself through a patio door at a villa in Västberga in southern Stockholm. There, he shot dead a 40-year-old father of small children before going upstairs and pointing the weapon at the man’s wife, who was holding the couple’s two-year-old daughter in her arms.
After urging her to turn around, he shot her twice in the back. She survived but was badly injured. One of the shots hit the daughter, who was slightly injured. In an adjacent room, the couple’s second daughter was sleeping.

Shot two women to death – the night after the first murder
The following evening, the boy used the same approach to enter a villa in Tullinge, south of Stockholm, where he shot dead two women in their 20s and 60s, respectively. Another woman and three children were in the house.
The boy was arrested shortly afterwards on his way away from the murder scene in a taxi.
The murders in Västberga and Tullinge are linked to the internal conflict that broke out in the Foxtrot network last fall. However, those who were killed had nothing to do with it.
