"I have no comments at this time," says Anne Sjöblom, the prosecutor who leads the preliminary investigation.

On Saturday, eight people were arrested in Gävle. The Prosecutor's Office later announced that five people were arrested on suspicion of the murder, three of whom were on probable cause. All persons are in their 20s.

The prosecutor also does not want to answer whether the body in Knivsta is identified or how the suspected murder is linked to the arrested persons.

Several events in Sätra

In addition to a strike in a multi-family house, several police operations took place in Sätra. According to Gefle Dagblad, the police must have blocked a garage during Saturday night and during the night towards Sunday another strike took place in the district. However, the police have not confirmed whether these efforts have links to the suspected murder.

"I can't confirm anything," said Mikael Hedström, a police spokesman, during Monday morning.
