Dead person found in Österåker – being investigated as murder

Since unclear circumstances surround the death, a preliminary investigation into murder has been initiated, the police write on their website.

There are unclear circumstances, so right now I cannot go into more detail about what happened, said the police's press spokesperson Anders Bryngelsson during the morning.

A member of the public alerted the police just before 10 pm on Monday evening. The police did not want to disclose whether anyone was injured, but confirmed early in the morning that it concerns a suspected violent crime.

We have had a larger resource and forensic technicians on site. When they are finished there, they will continue with internal investigative measures, said Niklas Berglund at the police during the night.
