A man has been detained, suspected of murdering a woman in Vårgårda in Västergötland over the weekend, reports Alingsås Tidning.

The death was initially reported as a heart attack, but according to the police, it is unclear what lies behind the woman's death.

The circumstances are such that we cannot rule out that a crime has been committed, says Daniel Liljedahl, on-duty investigative commander at the police in Borås, to the newspaper.

The woman, who was in her 65-year-old, was found dead on Sunday evening.
