In a bizarre incident,a suspected murderer who was at large, was allowed to go free, when he came to surrender because the Police station was closed and the Police were off duty!
A 45-year-old man wanted in connection with the 2011 killing of a gang leader in Malmö tried to turn himself in on Monday, only to be told that the local police station was closed.
He has been on the run since a warrant was issued for his arrest just days after the November 2011 killing of the 31-year-old leader of the Brödraskapet Wolfpack gang (‘The Wolfpack Brotherhood‘).
The suspected mobster was shot to death at a taxi depot in a Malmö industrial area and the 45-year-old, who had previously owned the taxi business, immediately came under suspicion.
But when the suspect finally showed up at a Malmö police station on Monday night to turn himself in after nearly 15 months at large, he was amazed by the response he received, the Sydsvenskan newspaper reported.
Upon ringing the bell on the door shortly after 6pm, he was informed that the police station was closed.
“Closed? I’m suspected of murder and a wanted man – you guys really want to get ahold of me,” he said into the intercom.
But instead of being let in to the station, he was instead directed to another police station. When he had made his way there, he was placed under arrest.
Swedish criminal justice expert Sven-Erik Alhem expressed his shock at how the Malmö police handled the wanted man’s attempt to turn himself in.
