Prosecutor Henrik Skoglund has filed a request for the detention of two 16-year-olds who are suspected of involvement in a murder case in Eskilstuna. The legal request comes after investigations suggested that there is probable cause to suspect their participation in the crime, marking a serious escalation in the case. Despite the gravity of the allegations, specific details concerning the suspects' actions remain undisclosed by the prosecutor's office to protect the ongoing investigation.

In addition to the two boys, two 14-year-old boys have also been suspected of involvement in the incident. However, the prosecutor has refrained from commenting on the details of these younger suspects, maintaining a level of confidentiality as the legal processes unfold. The authorities have indicated that the two older teens were previously under the care of social services, highlighting broader concerns about youth involvement in crime and the societal issues surrounding them.

The detention hearing for the two 16-year-olds is expected to take place on Thursday afternoon, where a judge will decide whether there is sufficient evidence to warrant their continued detention as the investigation progresses. The case has drawn significant public attention given the serious nature of the charges, reflecting growing concerns over youth violence and safety in Eskilstuna.
