The online poker world is in a state of chock at the moment after the news about the killing of Andreas Oscarsson, the founder of Pokerlistings.com.

The founder of the famous online poker site, Pokerlistings.com have been found dead by gun shot in his bed in his childhood home in Trollhattan, Sweden. The police do not know who or why the killing took place and there is no sign of the weapon used for the crime.

Few details about the shooting are known but the police are investigating the crime as a murder that may have been witnessed by Andreas Oscarsson’s two year-old son, who was travelling with Andreas. Other members of his family where present in the house at the time of the killing but none of them are suspects in the case.

The 36-year-old founder was considered a tough and savy business man, an excellent poker player and a very good friend by those who knew him very well and he will truly be missed by a lot of people.

The team behind Pokerlistings.com have promised to keep the site up and running and continue his vision of making a world-leading online poker company.
