No investigation into work environment violations after Löfving’s death
Prosecutors have decided not to initiate a preliminary investigation into work environment violations in connection with the death of police chief Mats Löving in February.
– In order for a preliminary investigation to be initiated, there must be reason to assume that a crime that falls under general prosecution has occurred, says Per Nichols, chief prosecutor at the Special Prosecutor’s Chamber in a press release.
Nichols says, among other things, that there were not enough circumstances to suggest a crime.
– Which in itself is of course an extremely tragic event, he says.

Woman was threatened with a gun after blockading
Two dark-clad men with hoods entered a woman’s residence outside Alingsås and threatened her with a gun.
– She had posted an ad on Blocket where she wanted to sell a piece of gold jewelry, so it probably had something to do with that, says Peter Adlersson, press spokesperson in the West police region.
But the robbers didn’t get anything.
– I’m a little unsure why, it could be that the jewelery was already sold. They limped off into the forest.
Police are on the scene with dogs looking for the men, but have so far found nothing.

The woman is cut after the incident, but has no physical injuries.

I wonder if you have any idea how many victims have been found so far after the earthquake in Turkey and Syria.
Leif Larsson
Hello! According to international media, the death toll was over 50,000 at the end of February.
Instead of having a lot of drivel about infidelity & couple problems, you can instead post a flasher that today at 3 pm Hesa Fredrik will be tested.
Is it appropriate for the media to take responsibility & inform about this in these troubled times.
Thanks!
