Prosecutor Linda Strömberg tells P4 Norrbotten that the suspicions against the detained man have been strengthened.
I have a picture of what has happened, but we don't know anything about the motive, she says to the radio.
The deceased men – one in their 60s and the other in their 65s – were discovered by a neighbor on Friday evening, reports Piteå-Tidningen. He reacted to the fact that the driveway to the men's farm was not shoveled and decided to go in to them. The neighbor found the two men on the upper floor of the house.
It was terrible, he says to the newspaper.
On Saturday, the police announced that a man had been detained, suspected of murder. A brief initial interrogation has been held with him, as well as a longer one when the man's defense attorney Carolina Nilsson was present.
He denies the crime, but we are in an early stage, it's not the right time for me to say anything more, she says to TT.
If the prosecutor requests that the man be remanded in custody, it will be at the earliest on Monday, but likely on Tuesday morning, according to Carolina Nilsson.
The case is led by a duty prosecutor and I have no further information to provide about potential relationships and where the person was arrested, says Robin Simonsson, press spokesperson at the Prosecution Authority, to TT.
It is unclear when the two men died.
