The trial against four individuals accused of involvement in three murders in southern Stockholm last autumn has concluded today. The prosecutor is seeking a 12-year prison sentence for the 17-year-old boy who has been charged with all three murders and seven counts of attempted murder.
It was in October last year that a 40-year-old father of small children was shot dead in a villa in Västberga. The following evening, two women, one in her 20s and one in her 60s, were shot dead in a villa in Tullinge.
A 17-year-old boy, who was 16 years old at the time of the murders, is accused of the murders. The other three accused are suspected of instigation, respectively, and aiding and abetting murder attempts.
The trial is now concluded, and the verdict will be announced on August 28.
"I have requested 10 years' imprisonment for the boy accused of instigating the murders and murder attempts, two years and two months of closed youth care for the accused girl, and 16 years' imprisonment for the now 22-year-old man," says senior prosecutor Helena Nordstrand according to a press release from the prosecution authority.
All four are to remain in custody awaiting the verdict.
