Inmate found dead at Kumla

According to the police, no crime is suspected to be behind the death, but the inmate must have taken his own life.

The head of the institution, Jacques Mwepu, confirms the information for SVT Örebro. The institution is Sweden’s largest and one of the institutions in the country with the highest security class.

The radio writes that people who are in custody or convicted take their own lives. According to the Prison Service’s statistics, it happens three or four times each year.
