The 20-year-old who had access to the apartment was previously known by the police and he was described by police as an individual who ”is part of a criminal environment”.
for roughly vapenbrott. He confessed that he had kept the weapons against the payment, but claimed that he was convinced that it was about the replicas, that is to say, dummies.
After the trial was 20-year-old, however, on the loose, so when the verdict fell on 16 april, the police officers who investigated the crime not particularly surprised to find that the 20-year-old was acquitted.
the police officers angry when they read the verdict:
” Between the lines, it is obvious that they want to absolve him. Right hooks up on details that are irrelevant, ” said Jonas Lindberg, the team leader of the Serious Crime Stockholm syd, who works in the police special bet Max, against serious crime to the DN then.
Manne Jönsson, the former head of the serious crimes Stockholm South, backed up his manager and said that just Södertälje district court judge cases differently than other district courts.
