When 39-year-old Mikael was shot to death on his way to the swimming pool in front of his son, it was another in a series of murders of people outside the gang environment, which can still be linked to it.
Now state prosecutor Ove Jäverfält says P4 Stockholm that one of the suspects for the murder had himself been close to being murdered a few months before the murder of Mikael, another charge brought in the Södertörn district court.

The suspects are linked to the so-called Skärholm Phalanx, in conflict with the so-called Vårberg network.
According to the prosecutor, they hope to be able to bring charges for the murder of Mikael this autumn.
