A 20-year-old man is detained on suspicion of involvement in the fatal shooting near a school in Örebro in July, Nerikes Allehanda reports.

– I request him to be charged as reasonably suspected of aiding and abetting murder, says Ann-Maria Larsson, deputy chief prosecutor, to the newspaper.

The man was arrested on Tuesday. According to Nerikes Allehanda, it is still unclear what is behind the shots.

– He denies any crime and contests both the request for detention and the special grounds for detention, says Soren Abbaszadeh, the man’s defense lawyer.
