Three teenagers have been arrested in Malmö, in southern Sweden, under suspicion of the murder of 15-year-old Ardiwan Samir in the Rosengård district on New Year’s Eve.
- Four in custody for Malmö murder (14 Feb 12)
- Malmö mayor in non-violence plea to residents (7 Feb 12)
- Man dead after new Malmö shooting (31 Jan 12)
According to the police, all the suspects are under 18 but over 15 years old. A warrant had been issued for their arrest a few days ago and they were brought in by police on Monday morning.
All three are under suspicion of murder or accessory to murder, according to a police statement.
Samir died shortly after arrival at the hospital after having sustained gunshot wounds to the head and chest while out enjoying the fireworks.
Despite a number of revellers being out and about at the time of the shooting, it was initially difficult for investigating officers to find witnesses willing to come forward to discuss the incident.
”We have interrogated a large number of people in this case. Motives have been investigated. We have now arrested three people and they have been taken to the police station at Davidshall,” said Bertil Isberg of the police during a police press conference on Monday.
The murder, the fourth to be committed in Malmö over the course of a month, was followed by two additional shootings in a wave of violent crime that hit the city.
There were also several demonstrations in Malmö against the growing violence in the area following the incidents, one of which was held in connection to the funeral of the dead 15-year-old.

The fact of the matter is that, based on the sophisticated nature of some criminals and their particular crimes and criminal networks, the justice system should have some leway to try some of these teenagers as adults, and put them to work in prison to offset the cost of incarcerating them.
In Chicago, our total for Saturday night/Sunday morning was;
"Nine people were shot and two died of those wounds" per the trib.
Luckily we had thunderstorms as we hit 50 shot, 10 killed a few weekends ago.
Enjoy low crime while you got it.
That's right, Sven Svenne in his stuga can go back to getting ratfaced on moonshine and beating up his wife and kids. Paedophilia and homophobia didn't exist of course, back in the good old days before mass immigration...not. Nor murder, bank robbery, car theft, drug crimes, etc etc. How many Swedes drink and drive or fiddle their taxes and never get prosecuted?.
And let's have a look at the top ten list of notorious mass murderers, rapists and serial killers in Sweden and see how many mass immigrants there are.
Mattias Flink - worse mass murderer in Swedish history
John Ausonius - the original laserman
Helge Fossmö - psycho priest
Tomas Quick - serial killer
Anders Eklund - serial killer
Jackie Arklöv - Balkan mercenary and police killer (adopted to Sweden as a 3-year-old)
Niklas Lindgren - Hagamannen, second worse serial rapist in Swedish history
Hampus Hellekant - neo-Nazi murderer
Peter Mangs - the Malmö laserman
Niklas Eliasson - the worst mass rapist in Swedish history
Surprise, surprise, not a single mass immigrant among them!...although on the upside, at least they're all incarcerated.
