Three young people were killed at shots in Uppsala on Tuesday. A youth who was initially suspected of being suspected was now released. Three other people were arrested for this, explained investigators.
After the violent death of three people in a hairdressing salon in the Swedish city of Uppsala, a 16-year-old who was arrested is released. The suspicion of the youngsters had weakened, he was no longer suspected of a crime, said the responsible public prosecutor and investigative director Andreas Nyberg.
For this purpose, three other people were arrested, including a man aged around 20, who was suspected of murder. The other two men aged around 25 or 35 years were arrested for murder for incitement.
Prime Minister: “An extremely violent act”
At Schüussen in the center of the university city north of Stockholm, three people were killed on Tuesday. They were 15 to 20 years old. The 16-year-old was arrested a few hours later. The background of the crime are still unknown.
The police are examining the extent to which the crime has something to do with the rampant gang crime. The young age of the victims and the suspect are reminiscent of previous incidents in which rival gangs were involved.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson spoke of an “extremely violent act”. “It almost looks like a execution,” he told the Swedish news agency TT. Uppsala's mayor Erik Pelling told the AFP news agency that he was “angry” and “frustrated that we did not manage to get the problem of gang power better under control.”
Power struggles in the drug milieu
Sweden has been struggling with criminal gangs for years. The gang members have bloody clashes for control over drug and arms trade, especially in the suburbs of large cities, and there are regular fires and explosions. The perpetrators are often adolescents under the age of 15 who are hired as a killer because they are not yet punishable in Sweden.
In Uppsala, the mother of a high -ranking gang member was killed in Uppsala a year and a half ago, which had overturned with the boss of his original gear. At that time, this had led to a new wave of violence in the region, which has been flaming again and again since then.
