– We are investigating it as a criminal investigation, but we have not determined the classification yet. We have interrogations to be done, which have not been done yet and that will affect what classification it will end up in, says Johnny Gustavsson, press spokesperson at the police.
The scene was cordoned off and police technicians carried out a crime scene investigation during the day to search for clues to clarify what happened and how.
The police do not know if there was another person in the house when the incident occurred, and they are therefore working to rule out involvement from a third person.
