During Thursday afternoon, Prosecutor Jörgen Bengtsson announced that there is no longer any reason to request the two men arrested.
- The younger of them has acknowledged the actual course of events, says Jörgen Bengtsson, chamber prosecutor at the Prosecutor's Office in Halmstad.
The two suspects are set free. The suspicions against them remain, but the younger of the two men is significantly more suspicious than the older one.
Why don't you ask the 17-year-old to be arrested if the suspicions have been strengthened?
- Given his age, we do not want to deprive him of liberty. There is also no risk of the suspect removing evidence that makes the investigation more difficult, says Jörgen Bengtsson.
The police will continue to hear witnesses to the incident and evidence from the technical investigation must be secured.
