Eight years in prison for attempted murder of brothers
There is no technical evidence. So it was clear from an early stage that the case would rest on identification – that someone could be pointed out.
The gunman fired several shots at close range. In the sentence it says ”It seems to be pure chance that neither of them has died”. In the opinion of the court, both shootings had ”the characteristics of an execution”.
It was on 12th December that two brothers were shot on Trebackalånggatan. The younger brother escaped with minor injuries,despite having been shot in the chest. The elder brother’s injuries were more serious, and the damage they caused will probably be lifelong.
Two relatives in their 20’s were charged with attempted murder. The person accused by the prosecutor as being the one who fired the shots has been sentenced to eight years in prison for attempted murder, aggravated arms crimes, arms crimes and drugs offences. He denies the charges.
The other person has been acquitted of attempted murder, but has been sentenced for an assault before the shooting. The man, who is also in his 20’s, has been put on probation and sentenced to 100 hous of community service.
