STOCKHOLM (CNN) - The man suspected of the Stockholm truck attack has admitted to carrying out a "terrorist crime", his lawyer said.
Along with the former Spotify executive, 3 other people died and 15 were injured.
Akilov's lawyer, Johan Eriksson, told the court that he "confesses to the terror crime, and he agrees with the detention order".
Four people were killed when a lorry was driven into a department store on Friday.
Police say they believe the 39-year-old hijacked a beer truck and drove it into a busy pedestrian street in the Swedish capital before crashing into a department store. The head of the National Police, Dan Eliasson, said that the suspect had been known to police. Police said he had been ordered to leave Sweden in December because his request for a residence permit was rejected six months earlier.
However, unlike similar vehicle attacks in Berlin, Nice, and London however, IS has not claimed the incident.
Security services said he had expressed sympathies with extremist organisations, among them Islamic State, but they had not viewed him as a militant threat. His application was rejected a year ago.

James lit up the Pacers for a 41-point triple double, but George matched him shot for shot in scoring 43. He was a big part of what we did in the playoffs (last year) because there was never any slippage.
The prime suspect in the Stockholm truck has demanded that his state-appointed lawyer be replaced with a Sunni Muslim - a request that was refused, according to official court documents.
"Sweden will never go back to the [mass migration] we had in autumn 2015, never", Lofven said Saturday.
Two Swedes, one Belgian and a Briton were the victims of the last Friday attack.
The United Nations Security Council condemned "the barbaric and cowardly terrorist attack" in the strongest terms on Monday and reiterated that "any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed".
The prosecutor's office said Tuesday that "the suspicions have weakened" against a second man who was detained Sunday as a possible accomplice.
"I said just a week before that it's just a matter of time before it is going to pop up in Sweden", he told the Associated Press.
