Mohammed Mohammed arrested for murder of Mikael in Skärrholmen

Posted 22 May 2024 at 14:01

Domestic. Mohammed Mohammed, 18, was arrested Wednesday afternoon, suspected of the high-profile murder of Mikael, who was murdered in front of his son in  Skärrholmen. Mohammed turned 18 just weeks after the murder and thus, can count on a substantial sentence reduction if he is convicted.

It was on 10 April that Mikael Janicki, 39, was shot to death in an underpass in Skärrholmen after he said something to a gang.

Now the court in Södertörn has decided to (charge) 18-year-old Mohammed Mohammed for murder.

Mohammed Mohammed was arrested just one week after the murder of Mikael in another case, suspected of kidnapping and attempted murder in connection with a boy under 18 (who was) shot in Skärrholmen in December 2023.

He turned 18 in May-that is, just after the murder- and can therefore count on a very generous sentence reduction. Since Mohammed, who comes from Iraq, has obtained Swedish citizenship, he cannot be deported under current law.

Two other teenagers from the gang are already in custody, charged in the case regarding the murder of Mikael, suspected of (felony) protection of a criminal. A third is under arrest, suspected of a (felony) weapons offense.

Charges must be filed no later than 19 June 2024.

*Update: Multiple news sources in Sweden and other countries are identifying the suspect more fully as Mohammed Khalid Mohammed Mohammed. (Hap tip Gates of Vienna)
