- The 25-year-old man had been on a night out with another British serviceman
- He was part of the Aurora 23 defence exercises from April 17 to May 11
- His comrade and three Swedes have been arrested on suspicion of murder
Four people have been arrested as part of a murder investigation after a British serviceman on a military drill in Sweden was found dead following a night out in Stockholm.
The 25-year-old man had been onboard HMS Albion for the Aurora 23 defence exercise in Sweden, which took place between April 17 and May 11.
He had been on a night out with another member of the Armed Forces before they ended up with several Swedes at a house in Solna, northwest of Stockholm city centre, where the Brit was later found dead, according to Swedish publication Expressen.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence told MailOnline: ‘We are aware of an incident in Stockholm and we are assisting local authorities in their investigation. It would be inappropriate to comment further.’
In the early stages of the murder investigation, Swedish police have arrested four people on suspicion of murder – including the British serviceman he was out with.
