The main suspect is Mohammed Mohammed, 18, who is charged with murder and aggravated weapons offenses.
Three men are charged with aggravated protection of a criminal and one with aggravated assistance to the protection of a criminal. All are between 17 and 18 years old.
– My assessment is that the murder occurred spontaneously in the underpass. The 39-year-old was cycling with his son past several men. He then walked back himself while his son waited a short distance away. An exchange of words ensued and the 39-year-old was shot twice and died, says Deputy Chief Prosecutor Ove Jäverfelt, who is leading the preliminary investigation.
According to the prosecutor, the evidence gathering began efficiently.
– The police have done solid and careful work that went very quickly from the start. They immediately began conducting analyses of phones, the investigators obtained important information and held interviews. Now I believe that we have enough evidence to press charges, says Ove Jäverfelt in a press release.
According to the police, the public has been very helpful in the case.
– The murder has aroused strong reactions and had a particularly large impact on the local community. Although the investigation has been conducted efficiently and with good resources, we are always, regardless of the investigation, dependent on the help of citizens to achieve success. Testimony from the public in Skärholmen has been crucial in securing crucial evidence early on and identifying the now indicted individuals, says Stina Rosin, case officer at the police department for serious crimes in the Stockholm South police area.
