The alarm to SOS Alarm on Wednesday evening led to a large police and ambulance response to the Kungsmarken district in Karlskrona. Nine people, most of them children or young people, had fallen ill after eating some form of pastry. Two of them were so badly affected that they initially required intensive care.

The incident occurred at a family's home, and some of the family's acquaintances were also present.

The mother of the household was not at home at the time. She received information that the police and ambulance personnel were at her home address, she tells SVT News Blekinge.

I then tried to call my children. But no one answered. I rushed home. I was terrified of what had happened.

"Completely knocked out"

According to the mother, the family and guests had eaten a pancake-like cake.

When I later saw my family, I initially thought they were all dead. They were completely knocked out and asleep, she says to the channel.

The affected family members are now on the road to recovery, but are tired after the incident.

Prosecutor Lena-Marie Bergström confirms that some of the affected have been able to leave the hospital.

The condition of the two people who were in intensive care is stable, she says.

It is still unclear what caused the poisoning. Remains of what the poisoned had eaten have been sent for analysis.

Denies crime

The 20-year-old man who is suspected on probable grounds for gross assault has not yet undergone a longer interrogation.

He denies, but he has not been heard with a defender yet, says Bergström.

The prosecutor has not yet formed an opinion on a possible motive.

In some way, they are acquainted with each other, but I dare not say more about their relationship. The information provided by the suspect and a plaintiff diverges. Therefore, we need to ask some control questions.

Alexandra Källström, the suspect's defense attorney, states that she has no comments at present.
