Just before lunchtime on Tuesday, a convicted murderer was released during a guarded leave in Kungsbacka. Two men in a taxi appeared out of nowhere, jumped out, and released the man in front of everyone. It reports Aftonbladet.

According to information to the newspaper, one man is said to have been wearing black clothes and a black cap. The other must have been wearing a blue tracksuit.

The three men, convicted murderers included, are still at large.

The man who was released was convicted of a murder that took place at a pizzeria in Rinkeby in Stockholm in January 2018, the police tell SVT Nyheter Halland.
