The man denies the crime, says Deputy Chief Prosecutor Yvonne Rudinsson for the Småland Post.

The 70-year-old disappeared on July 31. On August 10, he was found dead. Two men were arrested in their absence for murder and wanted internationally.

Arrested in Germany

On August 20, the German police arrested the 48-year-old. At a court hearing in Germany, he did not oppose being extradited to Sweden and this week he was brought here. Friday's detention hearing was held behind closed doors.

The other suspect in the Markary case has not yet been arrested.

The police are also investigating links to a case in Malå in Västerbotten. The 70-year-old's stolen car and the two suspected men were seen in the Malå area before an 80-year-old man inexplicably disappeared. He's still gone.
