The man was previously detained in his absence but was arrested on Friday afternoon by police during an operation in the areas around Klippan in northwestern Skåne. He is on probable grounds suspected of murder, which is the higher degree of suspicion.
"A methodical and good police work that has led to success based on the assessment we can make now", says local police chief Anna Lindahl in a press release.
It was on May 9 that a man and a woman in their 70-75 years of age were found dead in their home in Klippan. The two deceased were found by a relative.
The police state that the investigation work is entering "a new intensive phase" where they, among other things, secure tracks through house searches and hold further interviews with witnesses. Interviews with the suspected man will also be held over the weekend.
