After a man in his 50s was shot to death in a villa in Tullinge last week, two teenage boys, aged 17 and 19, have been detained for aiding and abetting murder.
The person shot was the father of a 25-year-old man who was suspected of a shooting aimed at relatives of the so-called "Kurdish Fox".
Unusual privacy
The names of the arrested teenagers have now been classified in the arrest record, which is very unusual.
- The main rule is that a person's identity becomes public when you have a custody hearing, says Christoffer Dénery, Chief Counsel at Södertörn District Court and the court's chairman at the hearing.
“Too much to go”
According to Christoffer Dénery, this is the first time he himself has covered detainees' identities with secrecy.
- It takes a lot for one to still choose to use secrecy.
There need to be other interests in the context that weigh more heavily than the detainee's identity becoming public, he says.
Is it because of this specific case, or has the recent spate of violence created an increased need to use secrecy?
- Both yes and no, I have made an examination in the individual case.
Risk to relatives
One reason for confidentiality may be that the detainee or his relatives are at risk of being exposed to crime.
In the arrest record for one of the detainees, it appears that Chamber prosecutor Mikael Carlsson requests that his identity be kept confidential due to this risk, Expressen writes.
The protocol states:
"...it can be assumed that Secret B or someone close to him could be exposed to danger, violence or other serious things if the information is disclosed."
