Under the heading “Ahmed drove the shooter to the double murder”, a taxi driver from Gothenburg tells the radio how he suddenly received new instructions from his passenger in the middle of a drive.

The man told him to drive to Biskopsgården in Gothenburg.

Once there, the man murdered two people with automatic weapons at the tavern Vår krog and bar, writes P4 Göteborg online.

– All information about trips is saved and in this way it can also be shared with the police and authorities, says Lina Dahlander, Swedish head of taxi operations at Bolt, to the radio.

In recent years, in line with the development of violence, Bolt has also seen an increase in the number of requests from the police, according to Dahlander.
