The shot man is in custody – threatened police in Skultuna with a knife

Prosecutor Susanne Cermenius confirms SVT Nyheter Västmanland’s information about the hoarding.

– He has threatened police personnel with a knife. But I can’t go into much more, as an investigation is underway to map out details about it, she tells SVT.

What is his explanation for the suspected threat?

– I understand, without going into too much detail, that it was more or less some kind of cry for help.

Shall interrogate the suspect

She perceives it as the suspect essentially taking part in the course of events.

– But we will have to hold further interrogations to find out if he fully admits to the deed or if there is something he wants to tell about in a different way, than what the plaintiff tells, for example.

Here, the technical investigation is carried out at the crime scene in Skultuna
