The police fear that these are unknown drug preparations. – It is unimaginably tragic, says Sophia Jiglind, spokesperson for the police in Bergslagen. It was on Monday that the police announced that three young adults had died in northern Värmland, under unclear circumstances. Now the police announce that there are five deaths. Two of those who have died are from Torsby. In all cases, the police believe that it may be poisoning by some unknown preparation. – We have strong reason to believe that drugs classified as narcotics, in combination with alcohol or by themselves, may be the cause. Forensic examination The forensic examination must clarify what actually lies behind the deaths. The police have started a preliminary investigation into causing the death of another and drug offences. – It is to be able to open up our toolbox, we need access to extended investigation measures to clarify what has happened. According to Daniel Olausson, local reporter for Värmland’s Folkblad, Värmland has been plagued by a drug problem. – It has always circulated more or less. It is expressed as if you can hardly go to a youth party without drugs being present, he says. According to the police, there is no connection between the events, which is why it is feared that the deaths are drug-related partly due to the young age of the people – There are also other reasons that I cannot go into, says Sophia Jiglind In the player above: “It is suspected that possibly can be a dangerous substance in circulation” – Daniel Olausson, local reporter Värmlands Folkblad tells more.
