When he was first spotted, dressed similar to Star wars super villian Darth Vader , at the Kronan school in Trollhattan, Sweden , some students thought he was doing a Halloween prank and a few even took pictures with him, as he played strange music and carried a sword.

A 14 year old student named Laith told Swedish state broadcaster svt: ” when we first saw him we thought it was a joke, there were pupils who wanted to take pictures with him and feel the sword.”

The man who is believed by police to have white supremacist motives, would use that sword to do deadly harm to people at the school, killing two and injuring others.

The lead investigator, Thord Haraldsson, told Journalist: “Everything points to this being a hate crime. He selected his victims and attacked the dark-skinned ones and left the light-skinned ones alone.”

Based on a suicide note he had racist and neo-nazi views.

Neo-Nazism has been on the rise in Sweden, in fact the Sweden Democrats, a party with neo-nazi roots, has become Sweden’s most popular political party.
