An apartment explosion in a Northwest Stockholm neighborhood killed three people early on Friday in what local media described as a suspected case of murder. The blast started a fire, forcing residents to be evacuated shortly afterwards at around 4:30 a.m. (02:30 GMT). The blast caused extensive damages, smashing in the windows of adjacent flats, RT reported. Firefighters recovered the three bodies when they arrived at the scene, to which forensics officers and a bomb squad also later showed up.
