suspecting criminal activity. They encountered three men who initially claimed to be security guards but then opened fire with a submachine gun and a pistol, killing all three victims. Peters later confessed and was linked to a wider criminal network.
Peters, born in 1938 in Gothenburg, grew up in a troubled family and had a history of theft and firearms offenses. By the mid-1960s, he had committed multiple burglaries and stolen weapons, including submachine guns, often working with accomplices. The trial of the so-called Handen Gang began in May 1967, involving twelve individuals. Peters' accomplices, Gustav Torver and Leif Wahlkvist, were convicted of theft-related charges but acquitted of complicity in murder. A psychiatric evaluation concluded Peters was not mentally ill. In March 1968, Peters was sentenced to a minimum of twelve years’ detention for the murders and other crimes.
Peters later spent time in a psychiatric ward. In 1972, he was suspected in a separate 1960 murder case that remained unsolved and was eventually closed due to the statute of limitations. He died in 2006 at the age of 68.
