The new information is classified and is being investigated in an ongoing preliminary investigation. However, it has already led to lawyer Johan Lavås being considered disqualified from the case and “dismissed from the assignment”. The new defense lawyer will be Jonas Vedin.
“I can say that this has nothing to do with the previous defense lawyer’s actions in the case. Rather, it concerns circumstances in the new information that is now being investigated,” Jonas Vedin tells SVT.
For more than 20 years, the double murder of an elderly couple in Brattås remained a mystery to police. DNA evidence eventually led to a suspect, who was sentenced by the Ångermanland District Court in September to 14 years in prison for aiding and abetting the murders.
