Ingrid Nilsson, 86, lives in the building next door and says she was standing by the window looking out when the ambulance and police arrived.

- It feels very uncomfortable. I think it is sad that it has happened because it has been so quiet and nice to live here. You have to try to get over it, thinking that you should go out and go as usual, she says.

Worried children

Other neighbors share the same views about the area.

- It has never happened here before and we hope it never happens again, says Rolf Rönn, who lives in the area.

- I who have children become very worried, says a mother who lives in the villa area.

According to police, home care staff should have found the elderly couple deceased in the apartment.

- The home service was on their daily visit. When they left, everything was okay, but when they returned they found the couple deceased in their home, says Ewa-Gun Westford, a police spokesman.

"Extraordinary event"

During the morning and afternoon, the home service staff had support calls at the occupational health service and already on Sunday the municipality's crisis support group was connected and the nearest manager went to the site.

- It's sad that our staff ended up in this. Of course, they are not feeling well based on what they have been through and it is important for us to give all the support we can so that they can move on, says Mona Hirche, Head of Operations at Health and Care in Burlöv.

- It is an extraordinary event that is beyond anything imaginable and there are so many people involved. We try to help the police as best we can to facilitate the investigation, ”she says.

The police have not yet arrested any suspected offender.
