It was on May 9 that a man and a woman in their 70-75 years of age were found dead in their home in Klippan. The two were found by a relative.
The suspect is from a smaller town in northwestern Skåne and was arrested on Friday afternoon, May 16. The same day, he was detained on probable cause for the double murder.
Prosecutor Kristin Vernet has previously stated that the now-detained is believed to be unknown to the victims. He has previously been convicted of a crime, which according to Helsingborgs Dagblad was over ten years ago and concerned vandalism.
The police have previously not ruled out more perpetrators but said that there is nothing that points in that direction.
The man has, according to the newspaper, been questioned over the weekend but has not responded to how he stands on the allegations.
