- There were things in place that indicate that someone did this, says Christian Johansson, who does not want to go into what he found.

Young boys suspicious

Police now suspect two boys in their 15s for attempted murder. However, no one has been detained.

- No, not because they are so young. There will be interrogations and social services are connected and parents are informed, says Henrik Johansson, on-call investigative leader at the police in Växjö.

Dackeskolan is a school with students from preschool to ninth grade. No one should have been injured in connection with the fire and the material damage must have been limited.
