In a significant development in the Skurup murder case, Prosecutor Tomas Olvmyr has withdrawn his legal appeal against a boy who was acquitted of involvement in the murder of a 56-year-old man. Olvmyr confirmed that the withdrawal was precautionary, intended to ensure that the boy's potential guilt would be considered if other convicted parties had appealed. With no appeals filed by those convicted, the boy's acquittal stands unchallenged.
The case stems from a revenge attack connected to a conflict between the victim's son and a criminal gang, specifically linked to the Foxtrot network. The court found that the assailants had planned to kill all the men present at the victim's home during the incident, which occurred last August. Three other young offenders were convicted but faced no penalties due to their ages, as they were under 15 at the time of the murder.
