In documents from the Lund district court, it appears that a young person is suspected of the crimes, which Helsingborgs Dagblad was the first to report on.
– The information that has emerged at the moment is that the deceased girl and the girl who is being heard about her involvement in the incident are familiar with each other from before, says senior prosecutor Tomas Olvmyr, who leads the preliminary investigation.
Not deprived of liberty
The young person’s legal assistant, Cecilia Johnsson, confirms to TT that the person is under 15 years of age and states that her client is not deprived of liberty.
– That’s right. You are not deprived of your liberty if you are under 15, she says.
It was just after midnight on Tuesday that a police patrol found a lifeless woman outdoors during a routine patrol. The police started resuscitation and were then assisted by paramedics – but the woman’s life could not be saved. After an hour and a half, she was pronounced dead at the hospital.
– There is no doubt that it is a murder. We are convinced that she was killed by someone else, Kenth Pehrsson, investigator at Serious Crimes, previously told SVT Nyheter Helsingborg.
Not identified
The woman, who according to the police was between 25 and 35 years old, has not yet been identified. Pehrsson has previously stated that the woman was missing ID when she was found.
– We found nothing at the crime scene itself that allowed us to confirm the identity, but it is something that we are working hard on right now.
