Two men are sentenced to prison after a shooting at an apartment door in Farsta at the beginning of March this year.
One of the men, a 29-year-old, is part of a criminal group and the police have had extra surveillance at the man’s address, according to information to TV4 Nyheterna.
According to the verdict, the other man, a 20-year-old from Skåne, took it upon himself in chats to carry out a murder on a designated target – but shot at another family’s door.
The 20-year-old has expressed in encrypted chats that he was ready to help if someone needed to “be woken up”, and wrote “anywhere and anyone, no women otherwise there are no borders”, reports the news agency Siren.
Some time later, he took on the task of murdering a man in Farsta and went to a residential building where he was supposed to live. Once there, however, he did not find the target’s apartment and shot at another family’s door.
In questioning, the man states that he made sure not to shoot anyone by putting his mobile phone in the letterbox and filming the apartment – before he opened fire on the door. An explanation that the district court does not consider to be a precautionary measure that could result in a lower sentence.
Long prison sentences
Inside the apartment were two people, who escaped unharmed. The 20-year-old fled the crime scene on a bicycle and was quickly arrested. He was carrying a semi-automatic at the time
tear gas gun modified into a sharpshooter.
The 20-year-old is sentenced to 8 years and 8 months in prison for attempted murder of the two people in the apartment, as well as grossly illegal threats against the target.
The 29-year-old, who in the chats gave advice on how the 20-year-old should handle the weapon that was later used, is sentenced to six years in prison for aiding and abetting attempted murder.
Among other things, he has explained how the 20-year-old would handle the weapon if a bullet were to get stuck in the gun, as well as tips on how to get to and from the crime scene.
