Why It Matters
A 22-year-old man was sentenced in September to life imprisonment for the triple murder at a hair salon near Vaksala square in April last year.
The day before last April last year, a masked man entered a hair salon near Vaksala square and shot three people to death.
In September of this year, a 22-year-old man was sentenced by the Court of Appeal to life imprisonment - but the investigation had not then come to any possible motives or clients.
Now another person has been suspected of involvement in the brutal murders.
The man, who is in his 20s, is serving a prison sentence in Iraq and was arrested in his absence on Friday on suspicion of aiding and abetting the three murders in the salon and two attempted murders outside.
- This person has not previously been detained in the investigation. We suspect that the person has communicated with the perpetrator, says Andreas Nyberg.
SVT is looking for the suspect's lawyer.
Open Questions
- What role has the suspect played in the communication with the perpetrator?
- Will extradition from Iraq be requested?
