Two children – a girl under 15 and a girl who has turned 15 are suspected of murdering a peer in Landskrona.

This is what we know so far about what happened:

Tuesday, July 23

Just after midnight, the police find a lifeless girl at the industrial area near the old train station in Landskrona. Life-saving efforts are initiated, but about an hour later, the girl is pronounced dead at the hospital.

The police launch an investigation into suspected murder the same night.

It takes some time to identify the deceased girl, and the police initially report her age as between 25 and 35 years old.

According to the police, she has been subjected to "gross violence" and refers to the injury for assessing it as murder.

During Tuesday afternoon, it emerges that a young person is suspected of murder and kidnapping.

The girl's guardian confirms to TT that it involves a person under 15 years old. Documents from the district court show that it involves a girl. Her young age means that she is not arrested but instead transferred to social authorities.

Wednesday, July 24

In the afternoon, the deceased is identified as a high school-aged girl. The prosecutor confirms that the victim and the suspected girl are acquaintances.

Thursday, July 25

In the morning, it emerges that another young person has been arrested. It involves a 15-year-old girl who is detained. All three involved know each other, and according to the prosecutor, "certain confessions have been made, and information has been provided about the background of the crime".

The police confirm that they have found two knives during the searches of the crime scene, which are sent for examination.

Divers search the harbor in Landskrona in connection with the murder, but the prosecutor does not want to say if any finds were made.

Friday, July 26

The 15-year-old girl is remanded in custody for murder. The suspicions of kidnapping are deemed too weak.

It emerges that another person is suspected of involvement. It involves a person suspected of grossly protecting a criminal.

In total, three people are now suspects in the case.

Corrected: An earlier version contained an incorrect crime classification at the detention.
