10/10/2009

Andreas Oscarsson, the hugely successful 36-year-old who reportedly made a fortune from affiliate marketing and the PokerListings information site in the online poker sector, was possibly murdered by a professional hitman, his father disclosed in a Swedish television interview recently.

Appearing in an interview in order to encourage persons with knowledge of the murder two months ago (see previous InfoPowa report) to come forward, Oscarsson's father said that he had been told by police that six shots were fired from a silenced gun to kill his son. He has no idea who may have been behind the murder, which took place at the family home at Skoftebyns in Trollhättan, Sweden on August 3rd.

Police are still investigating the murder.
