Tommy Zethraeus (born 28 May 1969 in Falun, Sweden) is a Swedish mass murderer currently serving life imprisonment for the murder of four people outside the restaurant Sturecompagniet at Stureplan, Stockholm on 4 December 1994.[1][2] After Zethraeus and two of his friends were denied entry at the door to the restaurant, they went home by taxi and returned at about five in the morning.[3] Zethraeus had brought with him a Norwegian AG-3 automatic gun and gunned down three women, Katinka (21), Daniella (22) and Kristina (21), and the door bouncer Joakim (22).[4] Over twenty other people were injured.[3]

He was tried and later sentenced to life imprisonment.[3] Zethraeus applied in 2009 to seek a time frame set for his life sentence, but his application was denied by the court.[5] However, on 11 February 2014, an Örebro court decided to grant Zethraeus his application setting a conditional parole in 2016.[6][7]
