It was the night between Tuesday and Wednesday that the rescue service had to fire two fires in central Östersund. One in a trash can outside a residential building and the other in a garbage can at a restaurant.

The woman was detained by the Östersund District Court, on probable cause suspected of serious murder and arson. Prosecution must be brought by September 13.

The district court also decided that the woman should undergo a minor forensic psychiatric examination.

Suspected of fire in preschool

The same woman was requested to be arrested earlier this summer, when she was suspected of causing the fire at Asterns Preschool in Östersund. At that time, the district court found that there was no reason to arrest her. Whether or not she is still suspected in that case, prosecutor Åse Schoultz cannot answer.
