The police are investigating a suspected murder in Sigtuna after a woman died after she was found seriously injured outside. The alarm came in an hour before midnight on Sunday.
– We found her outdoors in a wooded area near an apartment building. She died at the scene, says police spokesperson Carina Skagerlind.
It is not clear what has happened and the police have been working to secure traces in the immediate area.
– We have had a major effort throughout the night with cordons around the suspected crime scene.
The police have knocked on the door in the residential area near where the woman was found. Dog patrols have also participated in the operation. Next of kin have been notified, the police say.
