Swedish citizen shot dead in Syria

A 46-year-old Swedish citizen who moved back to Syria to open a salon has been found shot dead. The man, who was much loved by his family, was hit by three shots in the street and could not be saved.

The family, who are upset, have not been able to obtain any information about the rape or who is behind it. 'As far as I know, he had no enemies,' says one of his brothers.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms the death but does not work on the case because it is not always required in cases of death abroad.

Deadly violence is common in Syria, and the family expresses great distrust of all actors in the country.
