Suspected murder in residence

A woman in her 20s has been found dead in a home in Ystad. The incident is being investigated as a murder.
– There are unclear circumstances, says Fredrik Bratt, police spokesperson.

Shortly before 18:00 on Christmas Day, the police were called to an address in the eastern part of Ystad due to an alarm about a lifeless woman in a residence.

– The crime classification is murder because there are unclear circumstances, and during the evening a technical investigation will be carried out, says Fredrik Bratt to TV4 Nyheterna.

As there are unclear circumstances surrounding the death, the home in question has now been cordoned off and forensics has been ordered to the scene to carry out a technical investigation during the evening.

– The police have also started knocking on doors in the area to hold interviews during the evening, says Fredrik Bratt.

No one is currently in custody.
