The police received an alert shortly after 10 a.m. that a woman had been stabbed in Bellevuegården in Malmö. She was taken to hospital by ambulance, but her life could not be saved.
The suspect was arrested shortly after the crime. It is not yet clear whether the man and the woman knew each other previously.
“I have no such information, and that is among other things what they are now trying to investigate,” police spokesperson Tamara Fuentes told TT this afternoon.
A preliminary investigation into suspected murder has been launched.
The man was formally arrested later on Wednesday following a decision by the prosecutor.
