As per latest reports by Aftonbladet, the Swedish police have sealed the garage in Norrkoping where rapper Gaboro's body was allegedly discovered. The incident is being investigated as a suspected murder. Furthermore, a car was seen leaving the scene after the crime as per the newspaper.

According to Mats Pettersson of the Eastern Region police, the local people from the area were the first to call the cops and report an alleged crime at the parking lot. Petterson also acknowledged the presence of the alleged footage of the crime but refrained from confirming anything.

"I cannot control what people choose to share on social media, but I can only emphasize that it is extremely inappropriate to share videos and images of crime victims in general," he added.

He implored people to call the number 11414 and inform the police of any information that might prove useful in solving the case.

Dick Steisjo, the duty officer at Region East provided an update on the preliminary investigations on Friday. According to him, the cops continued their technical investigation and interviews with witnesses throughout the night. Furthermore, he commented on the viral video of Gaboro's alleged murder, saying,

"As usual, things like this spread wildly. I can't answer if it's authentic pictures or if it's something else, if it's from this event. We have to look a little wider so that we are not deceived by the fact that it is a fake film. But if the film is real, we have a very good picture of what happened," he said.

Matts Pettersson explained to the public that the cops were looking at various pieces of evidence and had interviewed a number of people associated with the case. As per Altonbladet, Goboro was also connected to a criminal network but the police refrained from commenting on the same.
