It is a major case and a serious crime, and it will take at least four more weeks before we are finished with the preliminary investigation.

Due to the young age of the girl suspected of murder, she can be detained for a maximum of three months, unless there are exceptional reasons for continued detention.

According to the prosecutor's assessment, detention is the only alternative for the girl at present, since it is the only way to guarantee that she does not have contact with the outside world and thus influence the investigation.

Another girl in high school age is suspected of involvement in the murder. She is under 15 years old and has been handed over to social authorities.

Pernilla Nilsson does not want to comment on what the interrogations with the girls have yielded.

I do not want to comment on the contents of the investigation at all.

A third person, an adult, is suspected of gross obstruction of justice.

The 14-year-old girl was found dead in an industrial area in Landskrona on the night of Tuesday, July 23.
