Sweden’s prime minister has summoned the head of the armed forces to help curb a surge in gang killings.

The two men and the country’s police chief will meet today to discuss what role the military could play.

It comes after 12 hours which saw two men shot dead in Stockholm and a 25-year-old woman killed in a blast at home in a town north of the capital.

It is not clear exactly how the military might get involved but previous talks suggest soldiers may take over certain policing duties to allow officers to free up resources for crime-fighting.
