It was on September 9 that 13-year-old Milo was found dead in a wooded area in Haninge, south of Stockholm, after being reported missing. The prosecutor’s office can now confirm that the boy was shot in the head and that the murder took place within the framework of a gang criminal context.
– There is information, which I cannot go into further due to the confidentiality of the preliminary investigation, which shows that the boy was exposed to the gross and completely reckless gang violence, says preliminary investigation leader Lisa dos Santos.
Further information about the preliminary investigation cannot currently be provided, the Public Prosecutor’s Office states.

- In Bagarmossen center on the evening of September 8 between 7 and 9 p.m.
