On July 31, a woman and her boyfriend were hit on Långströmsgatan in Hisingen.

The woman dies instantly and the boyfriend is injured.

The brothers are now indicted, suspected of murder and serious assault.

Three days after the incident, on August 3, 2022, custody proceedings are held in the district court.

First for the eldest brother and then for the younger - precisely so that they cannot communicate with each other.  

But when the older brother walks out of the negotiations, he hears his little brother crying in an adjacent corridor.

The big brother shouts something like "take it on yourself", i.e. the responsibility for the murder.

This is what the Probation Service staff say in the preliminary investigation.

The older brother also initially blames his younger brother in questioning and says that it was the younger brother who was driving the car when the couple were hit.

"Unfortunate circumstances"

It is the responsibility of the Prison Service to ensure that contact between suspects does not occur.

How could this happen? 

- It was very unfortunate circumstances.

The correctional officers were well aware of the restrictions and they were not in the same place, but the clients still managed to communicate with each other, writes the acting section head of the Correctional Service, Jonas Larsson, in an email. 

Later, the big brother tells the transport manager that he shouted this because the little brother would get a lighter punishment.

That it would therefore be best for the family if the younger brother took the blame.

Chief of Police critical

The trial begins on Wednesday.

Both brothers deny murder and attempted murder.

The elder brother has now admitted that he drove the car, therefore the prosecutor believes that the exchange of information had no impact on the results of the investigation.  

- Now it is indisputable that it was the older brother who drove the car, says Hediye Kurt.  

But the head of the police's investigation unit, Erik Nord, is critical of this and says that similar information exchange has ruined police investigations in several other cases.
