PremiumAfter a day of increasingly heated calls in chats, the 19-year-old stands on Farsta torg, raises his automatic weapon in the summer evening and points it at the subway entrance.

“Brother all you see is just chatter” and “Take as many as you can” are orders he received.

Into the last, it seems unclear who he will shoot: “Take blacks who look like boys”.

Seconds before the shots ring out over the square, the last command comes: “Come in”.

Two people die – Elias, 15, and Tesfamichal Beraki, 43.

“They want to destroy Sweden. That’s what they want to do,” says Ousamma about the instigators of his son’s murder.
