The man was arrested on Easter Monday. He has also been arrested for gross fraud, unauthorized identity use, and forgery.

"Now the investigation continues with several investigative measures and interrogations", says prosecutor Emma Olsson in a press release.

The suspected man denies the crime, said his defender Maria Robinson to Barometern-OT earlier.

He denies the crime. He has given an explanation in the interrogation that I cannot go into.

The suspected crimes are said to have been committed between January 2 and February 13 this year, according to the prosecutor.

According to information provided to Aftonbladet, the police conducted a search of an apartment in Oskarshamn in February and then found human remains in a freezer. The suspected man is believed to have been on the run abroad at the time of the search. When he returned to Sweden, he was arrested by the police, according to the newspaper's sources.
