The alarm about the serious violent crime came to the police just before midnight towards the second day. On the spot, the police found that the woman in the home had died. A suspected perpetrator could be arrested after stating himself.

- I request him arrested on suspicion of murder and preparation for murder. That is probable, says prosecutor Eva Lotta Swahn, who was assigned the case during Friday morning.

"Admit the circumstances"

The detention negotiations will be held in Varberg District Court on Friday. The basis for the arrest is that the man can influence the investigation, that there is a danger of escape and that the crime of murder exceeds two years in prison.

- This man is previously penalized. He and the victim have had a previous relationship and he admits the circumstances, says Eva Lotta Swahn.

In addition to the murder investigation, an investigation is also underway against the police, regarding misconduct. They were in place a couple of hours before the murder when the woman had alerted to threats from the now suspected man. The case lies with the Special Investigation Unit.
