Murder in Skärmarbrink in "Wanted" - the police are looking for witnesses

The murder of a man by the subway in Skärmarbrink in southern Stockholm is covered in the television program "Wanted" on Thursday evening. The background is that the police are looking for more potential witnesses to the incident, prosecutor Karin Hammar tells DN.

- It happened in the vicinity of the subway station during a time span between 10 pm and midnight on the evening of September 28. That's what we believe anyway, she says.

The dead man was found early Tuesday morning, September 29, by passers-by.

The investigators are interested in getting information about what may have happened - and Karin Hammar adds that even people who do not believe they are witnesses may have seen or heard something relevant to the case.

- It is if you have seen something out of the ordinary. We are interested in all sightings at the subway station at that time, she says.

The murdered man has previously been described as being in his 20s. Karin Hammar does not want to tell in what way he was brought to life.

- It is too early to go out with now, she says.

Did the murder take place in a gang context?

- It is also a bit too early to say. But we are of course investigating the context in which it has taken place.

Two people are currently in custody in the case. One is a 28-year-old man with a criminal past. He was sentenced in 2023 to 2 years and 6 months in prison, among other things, for having a gun in a public place in Vårberg in southern Stockholm. He has also previously been sentenced to just over 2 years in prison for knife robbery. In addition, he has been convicted several times for, among other things, drug offences.

A personal investigation by the Correctional Service shows that he has misbehaved several times in prison and has "procriminal attitudes".

The identity of the other person in custody is shrouded in secrecy.

According to DN's information, two more people are suspected in the case.
