However, the police chief does not want to go into how the boy and the man were known to the police, but admits that they had knowledge of who the people were.

Now the police fear retaliation.

- Since we know who the victims were, we take measures to counteract and de-escalate the situation that has arisen so that it does not happen, says Mikael Backman.

No connections

The two murders are being investigated separately, and at present the police do not see any connection between the two fatal shootings.

- Right now we see no indications of a connection between the events.

Fatal shootings and young people are a recurring national phenomenon.

This confirms that the problems that are already nationally widespread also exist in Sörmland, says Mikael Backman.

After the two suspected murders, the police launched a special incident, which makes it possible to get more resources, both from other municipalities and other parts of the police region East.
