Last Saturday, the police were called to an apartment in central Örebro.
There one was found pregnant woman in her 20s dead.
Now a man of the same age is requested to be detained on probable cause on suspicion of murder.
The woman was found dead in her own apartment shortly after 1pm on Saturday.
– The circumstances are such that we can suspect that she was killed, Anders Dahlman, press spokesperson at the Bergslagen police region, said at the time.
Shortly afterwards, a man in his 20s was arrested and detained.
On Tuesday, the man was requested to be detained for having murdered the woman, the Prosecutor’s Office states in a press release.
