The suspected killers disappeared in a gray car, according to witness statements.

THE ARTICLE IN BRIEF

A 21-year-old man killed in a residential area in Bromma in western Stockholm on November 5. A video from the crime scene shows him hugging his killer only to be shot in the back as he was leaving.

According to information to Expressen, he had said that he was afraid of his old friends in the criminal environment.

Two men are now in custody for the murder. Both come from southern Sweden.

Shortly after the murder, a video from the crime scene was published on social media. It shows two men hugging each other, whereupon one man then starts from there – and is shot from behind by the other. The person filming is sitting in a car.

The film’s makers had included a song by Dalen-linked rapper Thrife Jack.

Two detained

Prosecutor Alexandra Bittner did not want to comment on the film, or any other details of the investigation.

– There is extensive investigative work going on, then we’ll see where we land, she says.

Two people are in custody, both on the higher level of suspicion for murder.

– They deny, says Alexandra Bittner.

One is a 45-year-old man from southern Sweden who previously had a company in the construction industry. He was arrested two days after the murder after being detained in his absence for 15 hours.

Appears in Danish criminal investigation

The man is deregistered from the Swedish population register. He has not previously been convicted of any serious crime, but is a party to a case where a district court recently decided to hand over seized objects to the Danish police.

He recently appeared on the fringes of a police investigation into an explosion in Stockholm.

Last year, when the Kronofogden decided to reassess his car, he had a residential address in Norway.

The district court has classified the identity of the other detained man as confidential. According to information to Expressen, it is a man in his 30s, also from southern Sweden. He has previously been convicted of, among other things, money laundering, drug offenses and theft. The man was arrested the night after the murder.
