Two men arrested over fatal shooting of Swedish rapper

Two men have been arrested after a Swedish rapper was shot dead in the western city of Gothenburg.

The public prosecutor's office announced on Friday that they are suspected of being accessories to murder.

The victim was the 26-year-old rapper with the stage name C.Gambino, the police in Gothenburg confirmed to dpa.

The musician, whose real name was Karar Ali Salem Ramadan, was shot in a car park near his home on Wednesday night. He later died of his injuries in hospital.

The radio station SVT reported, with reference to the police, that C.Gambino is said to have had links to a criminal gang.
