The 39-year-old father, Mikael Janicki, was shot to death in front of his 12-year-old son in Skärholmen, southern Stockholm, on April 10 this year. Five men with immigrant backgrounds are now charged, including the 18-year-old suspected of having shot Mikael.

Mikael was on his way to the swimming pool in Skärholmen with his son when he confronted a gang of youths in a pedestrian tunnel. The confrontation ended with Mikael being shot dead.

An 18-year-old man is now charged with murder and aggravated weapons offense. The prosecution describes the murder as particularly ruthless, as it took place in front of Mikael’s young son.

Ove Jäverfelt, prosecutor in the case, says that an important part of the evidence is the testimony of Mikael Janicki’s 12-year-old son.

– Among the oral evidence is the testimony of Mikael’s son, who saw the murder. He was questioned shortly after the murder, says Jäverfelt in connection with a press conference.

According to the police’s preliminary investigation, the murder was not planned, but was the result of tragic circumstances.

– Someone reportedly said something to the victim, who reacted to the remark and confronted the group in the tunnel. The situation seems to have escalated quickly said Stina Rosin, a police officer, in a comment to the tax-funded Swedish Television.

– It seems that the person we suspect of having shot, takes out the weapon in a position. Then it is fired, and as we assess it, a shot is fired next to Mikael. Then it seems that Mikael moves towards the perpetrator and is shot twice in the upper body, says prosecutor Ove Jäverfelt.

DNA on the murder weapon

The suspected murder weapon has yielded DNA from two people – the perpetrator and a person with no known connection to the murder.

The accused 18-year-old, who has been known to the police since before, has confessed to the gun crime. According to the prosecutor, he had previously test-fired the weapon.

– He has been known to us locally for a few years. Through our close collaboration, we have also been involved in actions taken against him, says Andreas Bagoly, Deputy Local Police Area Chief.

In addition to the suspected murderer, four other young men, aged between 17 and 18, are charged and released pending prosecution. Three of them are charged with aggravated protection of a criminal.

According to the indictment, two of them have, among other things, washed a bicycle that was found at the murder scene, and which may have had traces of the murdered Mikael or the perpetrator. A fifth person is charged with complicity in aggravated protection of a criminal.

According to the remand petition, all the accused are of foreign origin, mainly from the Middle East.

Somali teen humiliated 8-year-old in robbery: “Looked like a racist”

Deteriorating safety

Police in Västerbotten County, northern Sweden, confirm they have seen an increase in humiliation robberies over the past year.

An 8-year-old boy in Umeå, northern Sweden, was subjected to a humiliating robbery where he was forced to remove all his clothes and do push-ups. The 16-year-old perpetrator, originally from Somalia, claims in police interrogation that he targeted the little boy because he “looked like a racist”.

The incident occurred on a Saturday afternoon in May when the 8-year-old boy was out cycling. A 16-year-old from Somalia stopped him on the bike path and threatened to call his friends if the boy didn’t obey his orders.

The child was then forced to strip completely naked and perform push-ups while the 16-year-old played music and cycled around him. Eventually, the 8-year-old managed to flee home through the forest – still naked.

The boy’s father Lenny describes the traumatic moment when his son came home.

— He comes running in completely naked. ‘I’ve been robbed, help’. He’s in a state of panic, says the father, describing the course of events further to Swedish public radio SR.

— It’s a guy, a youth who chases after him and forces him to give up his bike, bike helmet, socks, underwear, shirt. So he’s completely naked and forced to do push-ups.

The parents immediately alerted police who found the boy’s clothes at the scene, but the perpetrator had already disappeared.

Wanted to “beat up” 9-year-old

The weekend after, the boy and his father saw the 16-year-old at a football match. Police were alerted again but arrived only after the match had ended and everyone had left. With the help of the description, Hassan, as the 16-year-old is named, could be identified and arrested.

It then emerged that Hassan had tried to take the bike from another boy, nine years old, two days earlier. In interrogation, he stated that he had intended to “beat him up”.

In the police interrogation, Hassan confirms the course of events but doesn’t believe he committed any crime. He says he “just wanted to see the boy’s reaction” and thought he would resist. He then claims that the real victim is himself – and that he felt targeted by the child’s alleged racism.

— He took it as if I was going to rob him because of my skin color. I’m not saying that’s how it is, but it could be. He doesn’t want to talk to me. If you had been there, you would have seen how he behaved. Like a racist! says Hassan in the interrogation and continues:

— He looked like a racist! I think he’ll vote for SD [Sweden Democrats] when he gets older. I don’t know if that’s what he was thinking, but it could be.

Father: “How can someone be so cowardly?”

The boy’s father is very upset about the incident and the Somali’s cowardly behavior.

— How can someone be so cowardly as to target such a young guy just to humiliate. It’s completely insane, says Lenny.

He also believes that the problem with humiliation robberies is no longer just found in major cities:

— It’s not just about Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö and their various areas. But it also exists here in Umeå unfortunately, you can’t turn a blind eye to the problem.

Sweden Democrats leader: “The new Sweden”

Police in Västerbotten county confirm that they have seen an increase in humiliation robberies recently and that they have investigated about ten similar cases in the past year.

Hassan is now being prosecuted for unlawful coercion and unlawful threats. Under current Swedish legislation, however, he cannot be deported as he has been granted Swedish citizenship.

The brutal case has received significant attention on social media where many are horrified by a societal development where even small children risk being subjected to brutal and traumatizing attacks in broad daylight. Sweden Democrats MP Richard Jomshof is among many who have reacted strongly.

“This is the new Sweden, where Swedes have to accept being humiliated and robbed by imported perpetrators, without anyone caring”, he writes among other things.

Four people are being treated in hospital, two with life-threatening injuries, after an extensive knife fight at Österportskolan in Malmö, Sweden during the night leading to Saturday.

Eight suspected perpetrators have been arrested and police are investigating the incident as attempted murder.

Shortly after midnight, police were alerted that around 20 people were involved in a large fight on the grounds of Österportskolan in the southern Swedish city of Malmö.

— There was stabbing with knives left and right so four people are in hospital with knife wounds, two of whom are seriously injured, says Michael Lindh, duty commander at police region South, to TT (Swedish news agency).

When police arrived, only a few people remained at the scene, including a stabbed man in his 20s who was taken to hospital by ambulance.

— One person was taken to hospital in an ambulance and three in a private car, explains Filip Annas, press spokesperson for police region South, to Schibsted-owned TV4 Nyheterna.

“More may be involved”

A total of eight people have been arrested, including the four being treated in hospital.

One of those arrested is 15 years old, the others are between 20-25 years old. The incident is classified as attempted murder.

— It cannot be ruled out that more may be involved, states Filip Annas.

The area has been cordoned off for technical investigation. Police have conducted door-to-door inquiries in the area and held witness interviews. More interviews are expected to be held in the coming days.

Mass migration was meant to save Sandviken – now it’s compared to Sweden’s worst suburbs

Population replacement in the West

Areas that were meant to become symbols of integration – now marked by surveillance, anxiety and exodus.

Politicians and media promised that mass immigration would make Sandviken, Sweden into an economic success story. Ten years later, reality is much bleaker: half the city is now classified as an exclusion area and compared to notorious problem suburbs like Rinkeby and Tjärna Ängar.

In 2014, left-liberal media, led by the Bonnier-owned Dagens Nyheter (Sweden’s largest daily newspaper), trumpeted that mass migration to Sandviken was a gigantic profitable venture that would make the entire municipality economically prosperous.

“Earns over half a billion from immigration”, read DN’s headline, claiming that each immigrant resident would generate €13,000 annually in revenue for the municipality.

The claims were based on figures in a report by auditing firm PwC and had been commissioned by the municipality itself.

However, the optimistic calculations were based on fantasies and wishful thinking, and within just a couple of years it became clear that the municipality’s financial situation had instead become severely strained – with a budget deficit of €6 million.

— It was a fantasy scenario that was painted. The report was flawed from the beginning. How could anyone stand behind it? wondered Moderate Party opposition councilor Jonny Bratberg in 2019.

“White flight”

And since then, the situation has hardly improved. No billion-euro profits from mass immigration have materialized. Instead, the Swedish government now classifies half of Sandviken as an “exclusion area” – on the same list as notorious immigrant-dense and crime-ridden suburbs like Rinkeby (in Stockholm), Tjärna Ängar in Borlänge, and Gottsunda in Uppsala.

Surveillance cameras now sit on almost every street corner, and Emma Holmqvist, a segregation researcher at Uppsala University, notes that a large portion of the ethnically Swedish population has fled from immigrant-dense parts of Sandviken – and that other Swedes avoid moving there.

— ‘White flight, white avoidance’ is what we call it, says Emma Holmqvist.

— In long-term studies we can see that those with high incomes are partly driving spirals of segregation. They have housing choices that low-income earners lack. They can move away from an area with rental apartments and negative development, simply by purchasing housing.

Swedes don’t want to live with immigrants

She emphasizes, however, that people – regardless of group affiliation – tend to want to live near people who are like themselves, and that this applies to both families with children and high-income earners.

— But one thing that stands out is that many with immigrant backgrounds tend to want to live with more Swedes – the opposite rarely applies to native-born Swedes, she notes.

That Swedes in Sandviken don’t want to live together with immigrants is pointed out as a major and acute problem that must be solved by politicians – for example, by building more rental apartments in villa neighborhoods.

Children as integration tools

The municipality’s politicians have previously attracted attention in connection with a heavily criticized integration initiative where they made the decision to forcibly relocate mainly Swedish children from villa areas to an immigrant-dense, low-performing school in an exclusion area.

The decision enraged many parents and was described as a kind of “social experiment,” where children were involuntarily made into tools in politicians’ integration policy project.

— This is some form of Social Democratic wet dream, where you mix up the students in yet another integration project. You take an A-school and exchange half the students with a D-school, and then you get two C-schools instead – so everyone becomes satisfied and happy. It’s completely insane, of course, commented Jonny Bratberg on the matter in Tidningen Näringslivet (a Swedish business publication).

Abdullah stabs at police officer’s kidneys in Dublin attack

Migrant violence

A 23-year-old immigrant has been remanded in custody after attacking and stabbing a young Irish police officer in broad daylight in central Dublin. The attack, which was caught on film, occurred completely unprovoked while the police were on patrol on Tuesday.

The perpetrator, Abdullah Khan, was arrested at the scene after the brutal assault that took place on Capel Street in central Dublin on Tuesday afternoon around 6 PM. The attacked officer, a young trainee who was on high-visibility patrol with a colleague, was treated at hospital for injuries that miraculously were not life-threatening.

Abdullah, a second-generation immigrant born in Ireland with an address in north Dublin, is accused of assault and possession of a so-called Tactix knife.

At Thursday’s remand hearing at Dublin District Court, the 23-year-old man made no application for bail and sat silently through the entire brief hearing.

Unprovoked deadly violence in broad daylight

The attack is described by authorities as completely unprovoked and took place in the city center while police were carrying out their regular duties. Suddenly Abdullah appears on the street with the knife in his hand as the incident is caught on film. He goes directly on the attack from behind against the young police officer and attempts to stab him with the knife toward the kidney area of his back.

Miraculously, he strikes poorly with the knife and the two police officers manage to regain their composure and after a struggle with tear gas and batons, disarm and arrest the man.

The injured officer has since been discharged from hospital.

— This evening’s unprovoked assault is indicative of what gardaí (police) can face when they go out on duty to keep people safe, said Assistant Commissioner Paul Cleary to the Roscommon Herald.

Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin condemned the incident and described it as “shocking.” Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan and opposition leader Mary Lou McDonald also expressed their condemnation of the unprovoked violence.

Abdullah is next due to appear before Cloverhill District Court on August 6 pending directions from prosecutors.
