A man in his 60s has been found dead in his home in Västerås. Circumstances at the scene mean that the police cannot rule out crime.
– It is the circumstances in the home and the way the man was found that means we cannot rule out that it is a crime, says police spokesperson Magnus Jansson Klarin.
A preliminary investigation into murder, alternatively manslaughter, has been opened and the home has been cordoned off.
The man had been reported missing for a few days and it was when the police carried out a residential investigation that the man was found.
