Two individuals have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the murder of a 14-year-old boy who was found dead outside Nynäshamn. The prosecutor had initially requested that both be arrested for murder, but the court did not agree. They are currently in custody on probable cause for aiding and abetting, as decided by the district court.
According to the prosecutor, both suspects are believed to have played a role in the murder of the 14-year-old. However, the prosecutor did not provide any details on how they are connected to the victim or the nature of their involvement. The court determined that there are probable grounds to suspect them of these criminal accusations.
The victim, a 14-year-old boy, was allegedly kidnapped in Enskede, Stockholm, and subsequently murdered in Nynäshamn municipality. He had been missing for approximately one week before his body was discovered.
Authorities are also investigating a possible connection between this murder case and the murder of another 14-year-old boy, who was found dead in Upplands Bro two weeks prior. In the latter case, a 15-year-old boy is already in custody for aiding and abetting murder. The prosecutor stated that both cases are being investigated in parallel, but there is currently no suspect identified in both cases.
The police are exploring the possibility that these incidents are linked to criminal gangs or networks. The prosecutor acknowledged that it is possible more individuals will be arrested in connection with these crimes, especially considering that those currently in custody are suspected of aiding and abetting.
Both of the murdered boys were from Nyköping, with one living in a HVB home and the other placed in a family home. The investigation into these tragic incidents continues as authorities work to gather more evidence and uncover the truth behind the murders.
