About an hour later, we are alerted to the scene due to the rescue service, which has carried out the extinguishing work, discovering what is believed to be a deceased person, says the police's press spokesperson Adam Isaksson Samara.

The body found is fire-damaged.

One has not been able to identify the body. There is a risk that it may take some time before one can fully do so, says Isaksson Samara.

During the evening, the police have conducted a technical investigation and held interrogations. The incident is being investigated as suspected murder.

Since a deceased person is found and, at present, cannot rule out a crime, it is generally the case that we initiate a preliminary investigation regarding murder, says Isaksson Samara.
