Philip Gabriel Pettersson, then 16 years old, was questioned over the attack in March 2005, while possible accomplices were searched in Sweden, Britain, and elsewhere in Europe. Pettersson was indicted with five felonies in May 2009, and in February 2010 his prosecution was transferred to Swedish authorities.
