It all seems to have gone very quiet at the moment, the link below Mirror (sorry) says the MET Police are now involved and does say the two men had gun shot wounds, I hadn't seen it confirmed that they had been shot. It is indeed a very mysterious and horrific situation epecially in the location it happened. No further mentions of if they have identified or found the third person who was filmed originally in their vehicle.

Farooq and Juan's Funerals have now taken place. I can't find any further updates on how the investigations either by the Danish / Swedish / UK police are progressing.

ummm suspicion of aiding and abetting murder, so not the actual murderer (shooting both men and setting the car on fire) or have I interpreted this incorrectly? was this the third person seen in the car across the bridge? was he leading them to an ambush and other's murdered these two men? very strange and terrifying for the two men.

Kafafi Fares is the 19 year old male currently being held (cheap young dispensable foot soldier) I wonder what on earth they were up to to warrant such a violent end. It was obviously preplanned and not a case of mistaken identity, the gun, fuel to torch the car and the location must have been prepared.

A second person has been arrested:

I can't see the public records for this person yet so I don't think he's been formally charged yet.

The person who was taken into custody on Monday have been released today after interrogation, but two others have been taken into custody by police for interrogation today Wednesday. The decision if they are going to be arrested or not will depend on what the questioning will reveal. All these three taken into custody for interrogation have been 'reasonably suspected' for being involved in the murders, the lower degree of suspicion for a crime. In Sweden police can keep a person in custody for no longer than three days (until noon the third day) before there has to be a court hearing, to decide if the person is to be released or to be arrested.

They have blanked the names of these 2 new people in the document below, but are they are being given public defenders so looks hopeful. So the 19 year old young man has been released but his name wasn't redacted which seems a bit unfair. I wonder what went down and what deal was struck and broken. I still can't call it. I don't think it was drugs.

 

[Rikissa]

It's possible that the two now in custody are over 15 but not yet 18 years of age, old enough of age of criminal responsibility, but not yet legally an adult.

All 3 suspects have now been released,
No suspicions have been ruled out at this point the prosecutor said, currently not enough grounds for arrest.
