SVT reports that a second person is suspected in an investigation into preparation for murder in the Stockholm area. A teenage boy detained over suspected involvement in the Fagersta school attack is also suspected in the case.
Three days after the attack, the boy was arrested and taken into custody in the Stockholm area on suspicion of aiding murder and aiding attempted murder. He remains in custody over those suspicions.
The boy, who is under 18, is also suspected in a separate case involving preparation for murder in the Stockholm area. Documents in that case now show that there is another suspect.
Prosecutor Kajsa Frisk declined to comment. The legal representative for the new suspect also declined to speak.
