This week’s Värmland news: Thinness, eating disorders and murder trial

• This week we have told you that more and more young people in Värmland suffer from eating disorders. We met Hanna Wirdegård, who was 12 years old when she was diagnosed with anorexia.

• When the last day of the trial about the murder on Drottninggatan in Karlstad ended on Wednesday, the prosecutor’s assistant Leutrim Kadriu requested that the two suspects, a 26-year-old and a 21-year-old, be sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of 20-year-old Lauren Spaho.

• A talking point in the county this week is the criticism that has come against Region Värmland’s new method, which is supposed to help pregnant women lose weight. “It was very triggering,” says mother of three Emma Kavouras in Kristinehamn – one of many who reacted to the region’s post.
