A woman has been found dead outdoors in central Skellefteå. The police have opened a preliminary investigation into murder as the circumstances are unclear.
– We want to investigate what happened. A preliminary investigation into murder has been launched, but we don’t know if it ends there, says police spokesperson Elin Andersson.
Police and emergency services received the alarm at 5 pm on Thursday. The site has been cordoned off for a technical investigation.
– It is a passer-by who has seen this person, it is on a street. It is a place where people move, so the police talk to people who have moved nearby, Andersson says.
No one has been arrested.
