The brutal killing of a 28-year-old man in a bålhytte in Nordskoven on the island of Bornholm only in the week has created fierce speculation about what the motive was for the violent crime. Not least on social media.

some of the speculation was whether the killing was racially motivated, among other things, because one of the accused has posted 'white lives matter' on its Facebook page, and because the victim was of Danish/african origin.

the Hearing, where a brødrepar at 23 and 25 years was in custody, took place behind closed doors, but the prosecutor on the case Benthe Pedersen Lund from the Bornholm Police choose now to lift some of the veil of what the police believe is behind it.

- We have in our exploration of drabssagen also had the possibility of a racist motive in mind. But the investigation has currently shown that the background to the killing is in a personal relationship between the two accused and the killed, that is gone completely wrong, she says.

- Why you are choosing to go out with, what you think is the subject?

- We think it is important that there not be created a wrong picture of what is going on, she says.

The two brothers refuses guilty in the killing, but both have acknowledged the serious acts of violence against the 28-year-old engineer.

It appears by the charge from the court, which Ekstra Bladet has had access to, that the victim was subjected to extremely brutal violence.

He was beaten numerous times in the face and on the body, including with the bottle and the granrafter, so he got a fracture on the left lower leg and possible fractured skull. In addition, he was stabbed with a knife in several places, burned and had pressed a knee down against halsregionen, so he got punktformede bleeding in the eyes. Overall this meant the violent ill-treatment, to the young man's death.

It also appears that the prosecutor Benthe Pedersen Lund in the context of his request in open court; argued that it was out of consideration for the investigation, because the case regards the two arrested persons, who are related, and as during the preliminary investigations have given conflicting explanations. Also she said that it at the very initial stage of the investigation could not be ruled out that there is medgerningsmænd on the loose.

The two accused are in custody provisionally up to 22. July.
