A woman was found dead on Sunday in a forest area in Hällefors municipality in Örebro county. A man is now arrested and detained, suspected of murder.
We have found a woman in her 50s, deceased in a forest area, says police spokesperson Lars Hedelin.
The circumstances have led to us arresting a man who has been detained for murder, but I cannot go into more detail about why.
It was a passerby who alerted the police.
The woman was found in a forest area adjacent to a residential area, says Hedelin.
The site where the woman was found has been examined by technicians and analysts, and the police continue to hold interrogations.
The woman is in her 50s and is not a resident of the municipality.
