Hi Anna! The women are still in custody for the same suspicions – kidnapping, murder and breach of the peace of mind.
On Thursday, the prosecutor will request whether the detention period should be extended or not. At the moment, it does not appear that any charges will be filed until the beginning of next year.
Hey!
Is it a new person in the north who has been suspected of murder, or is it the same one you wrote about yesterday?
Anonymous
Hey! It’s a new suspected murder.
But why do they choose to do this always on the second weekend in December just before the Christmas and New Year holidays. Why not the second weekend in January?
No
Hi Inga! How it is that it always happens on the second weekend in December, I actually don’t know. At 16.20 we will have a chat with the Swedish Transport Administration’s press manager Bengt Olsson, so then you can ask him your question!
Why don’t you write anything about protesting yesterday against high prices?
Sigvard Holmberg
