A 16-year-old boy is in custody after Tuesday’s fatal shooting in Helsingborg. A man in his 20s was found shot in a car in the Dalhem district and the teenage boy was arrested later that day.

– The quick arrest was possible thanks to the fact that we received very good witness information and that the patrol was attentive, Helsingborg’s police chief Karim Ottosson previously told HD/Sydsvenskan.

According to P4 Malmöhus, the 16-year-old denies murder but admits serious weapons offences.
