A man and a woman have been requested to be detained on suspicion of attempted murder after the big fight in Älmhult that led to a man in his 20s receiving life-threatening injuries. A third person who is also suspected of attempted murder has been arrested, Smålandsposten reports.

According to the newspaper, 20-30 people belonging to two families participated in the fight on Monday evening. The man and woman who are now wanted in custody were arrested after the fight and then a boy who is under 18 was also wanted. He was arrested on Wednesday evening in Skåne.

– He is also suspected of attempted murder and serious assault and he will be questioned during the day. I cannot say more than that at the moment, says prosecutor Pernilla Granqvist to the newspaper.
