A 30-year-old man was arrested on Sunday for murder and rape of a 20-year-old woman in Ystad.
Now the prosecutor has established that the woman was not murdered, and the man is therefore no longer suspected of the crime, writes Ystads Allehanda.
It happens that it becomes like this. That you take someone in to ensure that if it's a murder that's been committed. When it turns out to be another cause of death, you drop the suspicion of crime, says prosecutor Love Lundin to the newspaper.
The man is still suspected of rape, which is said to have been committed on Christmas Eve.
In that part, the investigation continues, and we have time until January 10 if we don't request an extension of the detention, says Lundin to Ystads Allehanda.
