The motive is being investigated, but according to the prosecutor, those involved know each other to some extent.
"I mean, he knows who she is. I don't want to go into what kind of acquaintance or relationship they have," the prosecutor says.
The incident took place on Wednesday morning, when a woman in her 50s was stabbed in Bellevuegården in Malmö. Witnesses intervened and held the man, who was arrested by police shortly afterwards.
The woman was taken to hospital, but her life could not be saved.
According to the prosecutor, the man has said he can neither deny nor admit to the incident.
"I can't go into why he made that statement; that is covered by the confidentiality of the preliminary investigation," he says.
