Four people are suspected of having been poisoned and the police are investigating the matter as attempted murder.
SVT Uppsala reported on Tuesday morning that a fifth person was suspected of being poisoned and had similar, but milder, symptoms, according to reports. But that is not true, according to the hospital.
No, I can deny that there is no fifth case in this matter, says Viktor Ekström, security manager at the hospital, to Expressen .
This information is also denied by the prosecutor in the case, Emma Häggström.
I am aware of the information about a possible fifth plaintiff, but we are investigating four, there have been no further reports, she tells TT.
The first person to be affected fell ill on October 25. A week later, on November 3, two more people fell ill. All three were in intensive care. On Monday, the prosecutor announced that a fourth person is also suspected of having been poisoned and that the cases are linked.
We are now awaiting information from the analyses that have been done, but I cannot say anything about the time horizon there. In parallel, we are carrying out some investigative measures, says Emma Häggström.
There is no suspect in the case.
