In one of her last text messages, Tove writes to a friend that she is “terrified”. The friend urges her to run away – but Tove replies that she is stuck. “I can’t, they’re right outside,” she writes. Tove and her two friends, aged 18 and 20, left the Nöjet nightclub in central Vetlanda together. Later, one of them sat on her chest in connection with Tove being strangled to death. “I’m scared” There is no complete motive for why Tove was murdered yet. Despite an extensive preliminary investigation and repeated questioning of the women suspected of murder, question marks still remain before the upcoming trial. – The investigation suggests that the deceased 21-year-old and the suspected 20-year-old had a conflict-filled relationship, but no further motive has been clarified, says senior prosecutor Adam Rullman. But when Tove describes the conflict in her own words before she is murdered, on October 16 last year, an escalation is described. During the police interrogation, her mother submits an SMS conversation between Tove and an acquaintance. It shows that the situation has become so serious that Tove is afraid. The suspected murderer wanted to participate in the search operation After the murder, the suspects consistently claim their innocence to Tove’s disappearance. One of the suspected killers urges his friends to share the Missing People’s request for Tove. In the messages, one of them also writes that they plan to participate themselves in the search and search efforts for Tove. “I hope and believe that Tove will be back soon”…”I will try to be the police as helpful as I can and and I send support to you and the family” But during the same period of time, one of the suspects is caught on surveillance camera as she procures several bottles of chemical petrol – bottles which, according to the prosecution, are to be emptied over Tove’s body before it is lit. At the same time, sheets and wet wipes are also purchased. In another conversation with a mutual friend, one of the suspected women writes that she herself will participate in the search for Tove. “Poor family! Yes, it’s clear that you’re involved in the search…”…”I can hook up there in case missing people have reached, they have things like where to start and so on” The main negotiations are scheduled to begin at the end of March at Eksjö district court. TV4 Nyheterna has contacted the women’s lawyers, who have declined to comment on the charges at this time.
