A woman who has disappeared since the beginning of December last year has been found dead in Hällefors municipality, police write.
It is the same woman that prosecutors suspect has been subjected to human trafficking.
“We have reason to believe that it is a woman who was reported missing since the beginning of December last year,” said police spokesman Lars Hedelin.
The woman was found outdoors in the municipality on Saturday.
– We got calls from the public at lunchtime. They had made observations that were interesting to us, says police spokesman Lars Hedelin.
The police quickly found that it was a deceased person, and that it was a woman in the 50s who had been reported missing.
– We have reason to believe that it is a woman who was reported missing in early December last year, says Lars Hedelin.
The woman is suspected to have been exposed to human rape, something that prosecutors went out at the end of January and which among other things Na reports on.
A person has been arrested on suspicion of murder. The police do not want to go into any details about the suspected perpetrator.
