“I can conclude that there is currently nothing in the investigation to indicate that the perpetrator acted on the basis of ideological motives”.
This is how police spokesman Fredrik Svedemyr said on Wednesday.

The same day, TV4 published one Articlewhere they write that they had analyzed a clip filmed on a toilet while the shooting was going on, where a voice should be heard shouting “You will be away from Europe!”.
“The perceived speech is probably a product of low sound quality, masking effects and perceptual bias,” says Jonas Lindh, former forensic analyst at the police.
It is “highly unreliable” to draw conclusions about the speech from the clip, he says.
In their article, TV4 writes that they “could not verify who called the xenophobic statement”, whether it was the perpetrator or anyone else.
But when the audio analysis gained international spread, in some cases that shade became less clear.
“Swedish school shooter seems to shout ‘you are going away from Europe!’,” Writes British The Independent in his video about TV4’s audio analysis. In the video’s English texting, it is printed that the shooter was the one who shouted. Photo: The Independent/Faksimil
To SVT, the Psychological Defense Agency writes that after the mass shooting, “high volumes from various foreign actors” have been seen and that it is focused on “misleading information about the subject”.
On Thursday, the audio analysis was picked up by another player – an account with Islamist content and over a million followers on Youtube.
According to terrorist Magnus Ranstorp, the account is run by an Egyptian Salafist with a great influence, which was the engine in the Muslim world when the disinformation campaign against the social services in Sweden started.
– They vacuum everything that fits into their propaganda that they want to convey, so this sound recording has been useful, says Magnus Ranstorp.
“About the Swedish massacre, the media scandal, power and double morale,” writes the account on Youtube, and republished the TV4 sound analysis. The account has 1.59 million followers on Youtube and about 433,000 followers at X, where they also published the material. Photo: Youtube
“The biggest scandal is that Sweden’s TV4 acquired a recording of a man who hid in the toilet during the attack, where the racist killer is heard saying,” You will be away from Europe! “”, Writes the account, and claims that the police “hide the truth” When they say that they have so far not found anything that indicates ideological motives.
– It is about communicating to Muslims in the Arab world that the Western world is in moral decay, and influencing Muslims in Sweden by creating distrust between them and authorities. He wants to show how dangerous it is in Europe, that there is some kind of war against Muslims, says Magnus Ranstorp.
Listen yourself to the audio clip in the video above.
TV4 News responsible publisher Fredrick Malmberg says that the audio analysis was made by two audio technicians who, independently of each other, came to the same conclusion.
– With this verification we feel safe in this publication, he says.
Have you noted that the account uses Örebro to in different ways incite and criticize Sweden in a Muslim context?
MPF follows what happens in the information environment and in general it is so that the information impact is more or less constantly going on. The foreign players who are interested in influencing Sweden and Sweden’s population often act opportunistic. This means that events that arouse strong emotions are often used for their own purposes. We see that different actors focus on speculation and misleading information about the motive for the school shooting in Örebro, but we do not currently comment on the activity of individual actors.
