The woman is employed at the hospital and, according to information provided to Expressen, she is suspected of having spiked energy drinks with medication. Tests have been conducted to determine how the victims were poisoned.
The answers will come soon, says prosecutor Emma Häggström to Expressen .
Following the high-profile suspected poisonings of four employees, the woman, who is in her 60s, was arrested on Monday on reasonable suspicion of aggravated assault.
The woman has appealed the detention decision. It was rejected, but the document that TT has seen shows that the woman was working shifts when her colleagues fell ill. This is also the only circumstance that could support that she is the perpetrator, according to lawyer Stefan Wallin.
"The defense argues that based on the current evidence, it cannot be established that the plaintiffs in the current case were even poisoned," he writes.
The woman has enjoyed her workplace and has not had "a lot of trouble with anyone", let alone the four plaintiffs in the case, according to Wallin.
The appeal states that it has been presented as “odd” that the woman kept a number of deposit boxes in her locker at work. The lawyer objects that she was working the day she was arrested and that after the end of her shift she cleaned up in a staff room and then left the trash in her locker.
"The jars have no bearing on the events in question. The jars were placed in her locker more than a month after her colleagues fell ill," the lawyer writes.
