The woman was last seen in Norrköping on July 31, reports NT. In November, a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping. Now the suspicions have been extended to also include murder and grave desecration.

The man was arrested on Thursday as reasonably suspected of murder and on probable grounds suspected of the other points, writes the newspaper.

Even the man's somewhat younger wife was arrested for kidnapping in November but was released a month later. Earlier in February, she was arrested and arrested again along with the 31-year-old's brother.

Both are now suspected of grave desecration and gross protection of a criminal.
