The one boy who is suspected of shooting at an apartment in Malmö last week is the son of a police employee in Malmö.
– In the subsequent investigative work after the shooting, suspicions were raised that two boys under the age of 15 had been involved in the incident. Quite immediately it was also clear that the one boy is related to a person who is employed in the Malmö police area, says Nils Norling to SVT Nyheter Skåne.
The son of the police officer was found with another boy under the age of 15 shortly after the shooting on Thursday night last week and was suspected of attempted murder and aggravated weapons offences.
“Reduce the risk of damage”
Because there are family ties between the suspect boy and an employee of the police in Malmö, the entire investigation has been moved from Malmö to the southern police area, which TV4 News was the first to tell about.
– We do this routinely in situations like this to reduce the risk of fraud, and therefore I cannot comment further on the investigation either, says Nils Norling.
The police employee has been given a few days off and will also be offered support, says Nils Norling.
– Malmö police’s trust in the police employee is unshaken and going forward we will talk to the colleague about a solution to the work situation.
