  • Tougher punishment for those involved in arson in the Stockholm area

  • In the following days, three teenagers were arrested and later remanded in custody. Now the prosecutor has filed charges against the suspects. There are two 17-year-old boys, one of whom was 16 at the time of the crime, and a 19-year-old man. According to the prosecutor, they must have committed the murders together and in agreement.

    They are also charged with attempted murder of the twelve guests and staff who were inside the restaurant.

    – In my opinion, there is extensive technical evidence in the form of, among other things, DNA traces that link them to the crime. There is also surveillance video that captured parts of the course of events and the shooting at the restaurant, says senior prosecutor Niksa Lucic, who was the head of the preliminary investigation, in a press release.
