The 15-year-old had at that time pretended to be an Australian and described in detail how he would carry out a school attack on a school in Australia.
The police in Skåne received a tip from the FBI in the form of a screenshot from the chat forum where the user could be traced to the 15-year-old's IP address.
The police went home to the boy
When the tip came in, a police patrol went home to the 15-year-old in Eslöv and knocked on the door to talk to guardians and children.
- He sat and glared at me who was the one who talked the most.
Despite his young age, he narrowed his eyes at me and refused to lower his gaze, says one of the police officers in an interrogation from the preliminary investigation.
Acknowledged the threat
The 15-year-old admitted in the interrogation that he was the one who wrote the threat but said that he did not mean anything by it.
- I then gave "the usual talk" about his age now as a criminal and its consequences, including his ability to travel in the future.
He sat quietly and watched and nodded, but there was no major reaction there either, the police say in the interrogation.
In connection with the visit, a report of illegal threats is made and a report is made to the social services.
In their report, the police write that they consider that the risk that the act would be carried out in Australia is completely unlikely.
According to the section for serious crimes in Malmö, it is unusual for tips to come in from the FBI in the way that happened in the Eslöv case.
