A assassination in Sweden has shocked the country with the truth behind it. It has been revealed that the perpetrator of the armed attack in Malmö, where a 21-year-old young man was killed, is only a 12-year-old child. Moreover, it was determined that the young shooter hit the wrong person, and thousands of euros were offered for the murder.

A murder committed in Sweden has shaken the country. A 21-year-old man in a moving vehicle in Malmö was shot and killed. The investigation that followed revealed the truth behind the murder: the assassin was only 12 years old and had shot the wrong person.

The murder occurred on the night of December 12 in Malmö. The young man sitting in the back seat lost his life as a result of gunfire from the vehicle. Police investigations determined that the attack was a planned assassination.

THE TARGET WAS SOMEONE ELSE, THE BULLETS HIT THE WRONG PERSON

The investigation found that the 12-year-old child's actual target was another person in the vehicle, but the bullets accidentally hit the 21-year-old in the back seat. Thus, the murder was recorded as a "wrong target assassination."

According to allegations, the child shooter was brought to Malmö from another region for approximately 25,000 euros to carry out this murder.

THE ASSASSIN WAS NOT SENT TO JAIL

The 12-year-old child, who was caught as the perpetrator of the murder, was not sent to jail due to being below the age of criminal responsibility, which is 15 under Swedish law. The child has been placed under the protection of social services.

However, the prosecution announced that a special legal process has been initiated for the case due to the severity of the crime. Possible legal changes have also begun to be discussed in the public domain.

GANGS ARE USING CHILD SHOOTERS

Authorities state that organized crime gangs in Sweden have been targeting disadvantaged children in recent years. It is reported that children are being encouraged to become shooters, particularly through platforms like Telegram.

In this context, it was announced that a communication group called "Samurai Barnen," which had 11,000 members, was previously shut down. It is alleged that gangs have offered children up to 85,000 dollars.

THE NUMBERS ARE ALARMING

According to official data, there were 66 arrests in Sweden in the 13-14 age group from January to August 2025. This number was only 27 in 2024. The increase has raised further concerns about children being drawn into serious crimes.

The incident has led to a re-examination of legal regulations regarding "unsolved murders" and the use of children by criminal organizations in Sweden.
