Overview

• Court documents identify the suspect as a 24-year-old Syrian who lived in Sweden at the time of the killing.
• Investigators say Momika was shot several times with a handgun in a carefully planned attack on Jan. 29 in an apartment in Sodertalje.
• Senior prosecutor Rasmus Oman said a clear sequence of events was established through technical forensics and reviews of surveillance footage.
• A district court hearing on Friday is the procedural step required before prosecutors can request an international wanted notice.
• Five men detained shortly after the shooting were released and formally cleared in March, while Momika’s 2023 Koran burnings had earlier triggered international condemnation and embassy attacks in Baghdad; a potential foreign-power link cited by the prime minister remains unproven.
