– The suspect is over 18 years old and information has emerged during the investigation which makes us suspect that the person ordered this crime. After questioning, I will decide on possible detention, says Mia Sjöstedt, prosecutor.
Sjöstedt emphasises the importance of reaching those who order violent crimes.
