Malin Lindström, then 16, disappeared in 1996 and was later found dead near Husum. One person was convicted of the murder in the district court, but was later acquitted in the court of appeal.
DNA traces
According to allehanda.se, an investigation into the case may now be underway because police secured DNA traces in a semen stain that was found on a garment Malin was wearing when she was killed.
Interruption of the prescription
At the same time, an uprising in the Supreme Court requires that it be possible to establish that there has been an interruption of the statute of limitations. If not, the case is prescribed by law. According to former chief prosecutor Sven-Erik Alhem, interviewed by allehanda.se, it is extremely uncertain whether there has been an outage.
– Since the arrest ended and the person in question was released, it is not clear whether the statute of limitations was interrupted, says Sven-Erik Alhem in Allehanda.se webcast.
Very interesting match
If the case goes to the Supreme Court, a DNA comparison with the previously suspected person can be very interesting. Currently, the police do not have DNA from that person.
