suspect crime

the detonation was sharp. It caused damage in both the apartment and the stairwell. A witness who Göteborgs-Posten’ve talked to says it’s a hand grenade that exploded.

– One of the theses we work with is that it’s a hand grenade that detonated, confirming Police Hans Lippens Aftonbladet.

the police have launched a preliminary investigation of murder, alternatively murder, but at present, the police have not arrested any suspect.

Investigates connections to gang conflicts

a police theory is that it suspected murder is an act of revenge.

in the property where the night’s explosion occurred living one of the men who were convicted of shooting at Vårväderstorget March 18 last year, where two men were killed and eight people were seriously injured.

the shooting of Vårväderstorget was a step in an ongoing conflict between two gangs in a suburb, and police do not rule out that what happened last night is part of the conflict.

– If it is so so is very tragic that the spiral of violence go in that direction. The fact that a child has been hit. It’s terrible, says Hans Lippens.
