Two additional individuals have been arrested on suspicion of aiding murder in connection with the fatal shooting of a teenage boy in Vårby, south of Stockholm, according to reports from P4 Stockholm. The shooting occurred on March 23 when the teenager was killed at a football field in Vårby gård.

A 15-year-old girl had previously been arrested for suspected involvement in both this shooting and another fatal shooting in Malmö that occurred two days later. Police reportedly believe she was acting on behalf of the Foxtrot network.

The two newly arrested individuals are being held on probable cause for aiding murder, with one also suspected of preparation for murder and serious weapons offenses. Both suspects have been placed under secrecy protection due to concerns that their relatives could be exposed to violence if their identities were revealed. All suspects deny the crimes, according to sources.
