Woman Arrested for Attempted Murder of Child in Karlstad

A woman has been detained, suspected of attempted murder of a minor in Karlstad. The individuals are said to have known each other previously, according to the police.

The injured party has no life-threatening injuries, but has been subjected to a life-threatening act, says Sophia Jiglind, press spokesperson for the Bergslagen police region, to TT.

The act could have led to the death of the injured party. We assess it as a suspected attempted murder considering the consequences, she says.

The incident is said to have occurred indoors during the Tuesday afternoon and the two individuals have known each other previously.

The police are now conducting a technical investigation of the cordoned-off area and have taken several investigative measures, such as interviews and a body examination of the woman.

The police cannot say anything more about the relationship between the injured party and the suspect, but emphasize that it is an isolated incident.

We have had several serious crimes in Värmland recently, but this has nothing to do with them, says Sophia Jiglind.
