In March, a 17-year-old girl disappeared in the municipality of Marks. Four days later she was found dead near her school.
Police now say they initially looked for her nearly 30 miles away because they traced the wrong phone.
The internal investigation by the police now shows that two mistakes were made in the search for the girl, reports P4 Sjuhärad. In addition to tracking the wrong number, they also did not take into account the vulnerability that the girl’s disability meant.
In September, the Borås district court ruled that the girl was killed by a then 17-year-old boy, but a decision has not yet been taken as to whether he intended to kill or whether it was a matter of negligence.
The defendant, who has reached the age of 18, is now undergoing a forensic psychiatric examination and the main hearing will continue in October after the forensic psychiatric report has been received by the court.
