The woman was found seriously injured in an apartment in Västervik in early October after police received an alert about a gunshot. She was taken to hospital but later died from her injuries.

The 23-year-old man was arrested at the scene and has been in custody for one month on suspicion of murder and serious weapons crime. According to the police, the victim and the suspected perpetrator must have or have had a relationship.

Today's detention hearing was held at the district court in Kalmar and the man remains detained for probable cause for the crime.
