A man in his forties was killed Saturday night following a fight at a camp ground in Småland, in the south of Sweden.

- Cop avoids sacking for 'sexting' teen girl (8 May 13)
- Three arrests over Boxholm murder (4 May 13)
During the altercation, the man was stabbed in the chest with an unknown object.
"Several people were involved in the attack on this man," Bengt Netterström, duty officer with the Jönköping County police, said to newspaper Aftonbladet.
The man was taken to a nearby hospital, but died from his injuries about an hour later.
Police first received reports of the stabbing just before midnight, and have since conducted a large number of interrogations throughout the night.
A forensic investigation of the crime scene has also been carried out, but a suspect is yet to be found for the crime.
The campground where the fight took place was the site of a large bikers' meet up taking place all weekend.
Roughly 5,000 bikers were in the area, as well as a large number of police officers.
"There was a lot of people affiliated with different motorcycle clubs attending, which was why we had a number of police officers there even before the event," Gunnar Rydholm of the Jönköping police told Aftonbladet.
The police have now commenced preliminary investigations of manslaughter.

Every time I see them trying to look tough, I have to keep from laughing out loud and remind myself that this is Sweden.
If the bikers here really wanted to do some good, how about taken care of the insurgent mussies taking away the Scandinavian culture.
Quit fighting amongst your fellow bikers and put the muscle in the right place, hey, it's for a good cause. Keep Sweden Clean.
It's no different than seeing some celeb-chick with a small dog or fancy purse...It's part of the identity and image. Yes, same goes for the "angry muslim" with the long beard and table cloth robe .
Dutch, German, Dane or Swede - if I see these guys I usually take their lunch money just for fun.
Yes, I know, good help is hard to find.
With the new location I thought they would be riding horses and carrying six shooters instead of knives
No woman or Old Lady ever had a Flat tire on the Street that they didn't help fix. I don't know why people have to bother them and can't let them party with their friends in peace.
hahahaha southpart :P
Not lazy journalism; as far as I know The Local is not connected to the same big pool of news agencies as are most newspapers. Look around said papers, and you'll find that the only pictures they make themselves are on some local news items.
Strongly advise against standing in front of agroup of them and taking the mickey !!
In SoCal (San Bernadino), where they originated, the sun shines almost every day of the year, perfect for bikrers. In Sweden, well, not too many good biking days. What to do all the other days?
A complex of inferiority?
Perhaps they should imitate also the Americans in the worked hours and in the number of yearly weeks as holidays...
For your info, yes it is an Australian biker meet, but not an HAMC one, it was the Gypsey Jokers protest meet in South Australia.
And for those wanna be experts on biker life around the world may want to think a little harder on calling our northern brothers pussies, cause I am fairly sure, Sweden is the only country where an anti tank gun has been fired at a biker club house. But hey, come down to the club house and feel free to say what you think away from the safety of your keyboards!
The only reason the American (plankowner) Hells Angels do not crush the poser clubs in Europe is because it's just too dammmn expensive to fly over here and rip those patches off. It is only the weak dollar that keeps these clowns patched. (ok, maybe a passport application can be difficult if you're wanted in California, Nevada and Washington.
all talk no trouser action
Whatever your point it is surely lost in your drivel. My point is, there is a lot of keyboard posers here. But if you want to show the world how tough you are walk into the local chapter, start the tough talk....and hey who knows how many anti tank rockets are still laying round =)
Yes I remember the pictures on TV from those anti tank rocket blasts... some biker place or whatever it was were blown into small pieces. It's been several years now, but still, I'd like to see some of these tough posters peeing their pants would they ever meet some of those "pussie-pussie" bikers.
Rangers took them out at Fort Lewis, the Regiment took them out in Ross.
Don't see many Harleys in Hellmand, or Fallujah
Though they remain scum ,the US, Canadian and UK 1% clubs will still put up a bit of a fight the socialist European MC clubs are most likely to call the cops if things get too rough.
Die to ride....kiss my arse
Who dares wins...always
Yes instead of silly badges, they should be silly uniforms get a goverment behind sanctioned murder of women and children and goat herders where ever the oil may be.
It's more than a girl can bear :)
It's safe for you to spout here.
Let's see what happens when they are in your home. Maybe you will get your significant other to deal with them.And you know who I mean.
Try going to the Outlaws MC clubhouse and say that
Maybe there is a market opening for Harley Davidson to develop a line of men's personal grooming products for bikers: "Tough Leather" facial moisturiser, "Grimy Filth" shower gel, "Rough Razor" shaving gel, "Shag" 2-in-1 hair and beard shampoo and conditioner.....
