On Saturday night, an Albanian man was shot dead outside his home in the Rauðagerði area in Reykjavík, Frettablaðið reports.
A man in his forties has been arrested and appeared before the Reykjavík District Court yesterday evening. He was remanded in custody until Friday while police investigate the shooting.
Security was last night around the court in Hafnarstræti, where members of the Viking Squad – the technical unit of the Icelandic police – were in unmarked cars nearby. When the arrested man left the court in handcuffs, neither his lawyer nor the police spoke to reporters.
The deceased leaves behind his pregnant wife and young child, who were at home at the time he was shot. Their neighbors said they did not hear anything unusual.
