The 20-year-old man who is suspected of murdering 17-year-old Wilma has been arrested on suspicion of murder since late November last year. He has consistently denied having murdered his girlfriend.

On Wednesday morning, prosecutor Jim Westerberg filed the indictment with Uddevalla District Court: just over 1,000 pages to answer what happened when Wilma died.

Comprehensive investigation

The prosecutor has been silent about what type of evidence has been collected. But 700 interrogations have been held and extensive technical analyzes have been carried out in the boyfriend's apartment, which is believed to be the crime scene. Among other things, the police have secured blood traces in the suspect's boyfriend's apartment.

- Extensive investigative measures have been taken in the case. Among other things, a large number of interrogations have been held and an extensive crime scene investigation has taken place. A large number of analyzes of traces have been done at the National Forensic Center (NFC), which are now finalized, says chamber prosecutor Jim Westerberg in a press release.

Saw in central Uddevalla

Thursday, November 14 was the last time Wilma appeared. Then in central Uddevalla. Four days later she was reported missing by her family. It became the starting point for one of the largest search efforts ever. Thousands of people searched in and around Uddevalla to find her.

But on November 29, the hope was extinguished. Then the police announced that they had found a body part that made it possible to say that Wilma was dead.

- We deeply regret that the search for the girl ended in this tragic way. Our thoughts go to the girl's family and friends, said Commanding Officer Lars Eckerdal in a press release.

Forensic psychiatric examination

The suspected boyfriend has constantly denied having to do with Wilma's disappearance or death. During the detention period, he underwent a forensic psychiatric examination. It concluded that the man may have suffered from a serious psychic when the suspected murder was committed. If a person is considered to be suffering from a mental disorder is something that can affect a punishment if a person is convicted of a crime.

In addition to murder, the boyfriend is suspected of a breach of marriage.
