After an investigation, the police were able to bring in several people for questioning. Late on Tuesday night last week, three youths were arrested on suspicion of murder and aggravated arson. A quarter under the age of 15 is also suspected of the crimes, but could not be detained due to his young age.

The detainees deny having committed irregularities
The police conducted several interrogations of the youths.
On Wednesday night, after a day in custody, the prosecutor decided to release two of the three detainees.
However, people remain suspicious in the investigation.
The third suspect was arrested Friday on probable cause, the highest degree of suspicion, murder and aggravated arson.
Before the arrest hearing, courtroom prosecutor Heléne Thomasson, who is leading the preliminary investigation, explained why she did not want him to be a fugitive:
– I request that he be detained so that he cannot influence the investigation.
According to documents from the Eksjö District Court, he denies the crime.
