A 38-year-old man was arrested on Saturday night on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in connection with the recent shootings in Malmö, according to a press release from police on Sunday morning.
He was charged in absentia on Saturday afternoon and arrested at 6pm on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.
According to police, the man is "under suspicion concerning acts connected to the recent shootings that have taken place in Malmö."
"I will not comment on this at the moment, but we will refer to all questions at the press conference," Lars Mahler, police inspector at Skåne police in southern Sweden told news agency TT on Sunday.
Skåne police will hold a press briefing on the matter at 1pm on Sunday afternoon.
Of the 50 to 60 shootings in Malmö in the last year, police regard about 15 as "unaccountable."
One person has been shot dead, while eight others have been injured.
The fatality, a 20-year-old woman, is the only who does not come from an immigrant background. However, she was with a man of foreign origin who was severely injured, but survived.
At several of the shootings, including the murder, single large-caliber weapons were used.
