A 15-year-old girl is arrested on probable cause on suspicion of the murder of her younger sibling. According to prosecutor Josefina Yalo, there is a risk that the investigation will be affected if the girl is released.
– I judge that this is what is best for the investigation right now, says Josefina Yalo.
It was on Saturday night that the police were alerted to Vällingby in Stockholm, after a child was found seriously injured. The child later died, and the 15-year-old girl was then arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Josefina Yalo can not go into any details regarding a possible motive for the crime. She also says that the suspect girl denies the crime.
Prosecution must be brought no later than 27 July.
