Oskar Humlebo, who performs as Moto Boy, heard from a friend about online speculation tying him to the 21-year-old murder, SVT Skåne reported. Connections are being made on forums like Flashback and other sites, linking his music and background in the Härnosand area to the case. According to SVT Skåne, Oskar Humlebo described the situation as a completely bizarre feeling with insane rumors, including suggestions the murder could have been committed with an electric guitar.
He also noted it is a bit sad that the focus ends up on him and on these rumors, rather than the actual murder, and imagined trolls are sitting and analyzing every word, every sentence to see how it can be interpreted as evidence. In recent days, Oskar Humlebo has noticed increased interest in his music on streaming services, particularly for the album and song 'Keep Your Darkness Secret,' SVT Skåne said. The specific evidence or rumors on Flashback that led to the false identification remain unclear.
It's a completely bizarre feeling! Insane rumors! Someone has suggested that the murder could have been committed with an electric guitar.
It is unknown how widespread the speculation is online or what impact it has had on Moto Boy beyond the streaming boost. Authorities have not indicated if they are taking action against those spreading the false rumors. The identity and charges against the actual arrested man have not been disclosed.
It's a bit sad that the focus ends up on me and on these rumors, rather than the actual murder.
I can imagine that the trolls are sitting and analyzing every word, every sentence to see how it can be interpreted as evidence.
