Preliminary investigation into murder closed
On October 23, a man was found dead in Boxholm after a fight in an apartment. Two people were arrested the same day on suspicion of murder.
Three days later they were released.
Now the prosecutor has decided to drop the preliminary investigation.
– After a thorough forensic examination, it has now been shown that the man did not die because of someone else’s behavior. There is no longer any suspicion that he has been the victim of a crime and the preliminary investigation has therefore been closed, says prosecutor Helene Gestrin in a press release.

Young man arrested – threatened student and school
At 09.55 the police were alerted to a school in Vagnhärad in Trosa after a student allegedly received a threat from a person who, according to the police, behaved in a threatening manner.
The threat could also be directed at the school, according to the police.
Just over an hour later, the police were able to arrest a perpetrator.
– It is a young man over 15 years old. He is in police custody now and this is only a “one man show” so to speak, says Johnny Gustavsson, press spokesperson at the police command center.
The police are now working further with the questioning of the suspected perpetrator as well as principals in the area as another school is important to the incident.
The police are investigating the whole thing as grossly illegal threats.
ICA implements savings package: 200 employees are affected
As a result of a challenging global situation with rising costs and high inflation, ICA must implement an “efficiency program”, they write on their website. 200 employees are affected. A total of SEK 1 billion must be released annually.
“The program aims to reduce costs and includes an organizational review which initially means a reduction of approximately 200 positions, mainly on the white-collar side,” writes ICA.
A consulting and employment freeze has also been introduced at Ica Sweden.
– The grocery industry and ICA are in a very challenging situation and as a company we need to become more cost-effective both in the short and long term, says Eric Lundberg, CEO of ICA Sweden, in a press release.
– I have great respect for the fact that this is a tough announcement for Ica Sweden’s employees and we will of course provide good support to the employees who will be affected.

The decision by former environment and climate minister Per Bolunds (MP) to grant a temporary exemption from the environmental code for Cementa’s lime quarrying in Slite on Gotland has been appealed by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, a number of environmental organizations and private individuals.
Today, the Supreme Administrative Court announces that the temporary permit for lime mining is not against the law, writes TT.
Cementa’s goal is to obtain a new long mining permit for 20-30 years. But as their previous application for this was rejected, a new application had to be made. While waiting for it, the company received a temporary exception that allows mining until December 31 of this year.

What happens in the Tove case?
Ewa Forstén
State a problem with Facebook as you wrote, haven’t they changed their name to Meta?
Iv’s sale
The company itself changed its name to Meta about a year ago.

What is happening in Näset, Lindingö? Lots of emergency vehicles… don’t even come close to the hill

According to the police, it is a medical matter. They don’t want to say more than that.
You write that “At the Sunes Elefant restaurant in Visby, Nooshi Dadgostar eats steak and fries drenched in a brownish semi-transparent sauce”, but what did she drink with the food…? It does not appear.
Pelle brokers peace
Hey!
You cannot include everything in your text. In the documentary, it appears to be carbonated water in the glass. It could also be Sprite. But now I fall into speculation.
Pleasant evening!
What happened to Tove who was murdered? No newspaper writes more about the murder that I can find.
Pia
