“We are looking at the municipality's handling of the case before this incident involving the children,” Deputy Chief Prosecutor Emma Berge tells the newspaper.

The investigation into gross misconduct covers the period from mid-March to mid-June. There is no suspect at this time, and Emma Berge does not want to comment on what the gross misconduct involves.

In mid-June, two girls in Alvesta were seriously injured in an attempted murder at their home. The man suspected of trying to kill them was found dead near the villa shortly afterwards.

According to information provided to Smålandsposten, the girls' mother had contact with social services in Alvesta municipality shortly before the incident.
