The murder of Elias Sheikh, 16, was a revenge attack against an older brother of his.
Prosecutor Thomas claims Willén.
The act is described as an opening rite in a criminal gang, writes Dagens Nyheter .
– We do not need revenge after Elias, we want it to end, says his mother Hiba Ismail to GT / Expressen.
It was on March 11 last year that 16-year-old Elias Sheikh was shot dead in Gothenburg. At the same time, a girl was seriously injured.
A witness has told that Elias Sheikh pleaded for his life, trapped in a corner, before he was murdered:
– Please what do you want with me? What have I done? What do you want?
He was hit by two shots and died.
A 17-year-old boy is charged with the murder and this week the closing arguments were held in the trial. According to the police, he is linked to “Södra”, a criminal network in Biskopsgården, writes DN.
A 19-year-old man was charged at the same time with aiding and abetting murder.
The shooting took place in a gang environment
According to prosecutor Thomas Willén, it is clear that the shooting took place in a gang-criminal environment.
– It is a continuation of the conflict that has existed in this area between the two groups, he says.
Elias Sheik was completely unpunished.
– Everyone knew and liked him. He helped mothers carry things and took care of the children, Elias’ mother Hiba Ismail has previously told GT.
In a personal text, written before the murder, he warned of the crime in his residential area:
“My suburb is a very beautiful area to live in but what I dislike is that many criminals live there”.
The prosecutor claims that the murder was a revenge attack directed at one of his older brothers, writes DN.
Rejects the revenge motive
The brother has been described by the police as a leading person in “Norra”, another group in Biskopsgården that is in conflict with “Södra”.
He has previously been convicted of drug offenses and weapons offenses.
Elias Sheik’s mother Hiba Ismail has previously told Expressen / GT about the grief and
She denies that revenge was a motive behind the murder and is disappointed with the police investigation which she thinks is incomplete.
Elias was polite and good at school, she emphasizes.
And his older brother lived elsewhere at this time.
– We do not have a conflict with anyone. That is not the case with revenge, she says.
Hiba Ismail wants an end to the shootings.
– We do not need revenge after Elias, we want it to end, she says.
The murder a mission
According to the prosecutor, the act was an assignment from others.
older in this grouping to the younger. It is relatively common for it to look like this. Now the court must make its assessment, says Thomas Willén.
He now demands four years of closed youth care for the 17-year-old, who himself denies the crime.
The phenomenon “four for a hundred”, to commit a crime and take a punishment of just four years of juvenile care to then become a full member of the criminal gang you want to belong to, has been noticed in the debate about crime.
Thomas Willén knows the concept but believes that based on the legislation there is no other option than to claim youth care.
