Three jailed over murder of Swedish hip-hop star in car park

Swedish police have arrested three people in connection with the murder of a prominent hip-hop artist in a parking lot in Uppsala last week. The suspects, aged between 19 and 21, have been held under suspicion of murder and are currently being held in custody.

The victim, recognized for his hip-hop lyrics advocating for social issues like gun violence, was found with gunshot wounds to the chest in a parking lot on Kungstorget in Uppsala. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police have not released any details about the suspected motives for the killing, and the investigation is still ongoing.
