A 20-year-old man has now been arrested on probable cause for murder, gross rape and gross mischief against three different plaintiffs during Sunday night. He is likely to be arrested on Tuesday.

All crimes must have been committed early on Sunday morning. The three victims are also in their 20s.

The man who was subjected to murder attempts was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries on Sunday morning. So on Monday afternoon it was clear that he had died from his injuries. The man is a resident of Hälsingland.

No other connection to the school

This settlement it seems to have been, is it a settlement between different students at school?

- According to the information we received from the police, there is no connection to Härnösand's high school more than the victim was a student here, says Roland Bång.

Is the woman subjected to a rape by the suspected perpetrator also a student at Härnösand's high school?

- No, not according to the information we received.

Already on Sunday, the Härnösand high school's crisis management group was activated.

Stab Location

- Since then, she has worked on handling the situation on the spot, at school. Both the school's and the municipality's crisis management groups have stepped up in staff positions to be able to be an underlying support, says Roland Bång.

How do you handle the students?

- Differently. We have a very special situation now since a while back (coronas center, red note) and distance education and the fact that we do not have the students here at school physically poses major challenges for the crisis management staff to be able to catch up with students who have questions and concerns and feel anxious in the situation, says Roland Bång.

Information digitally

The information to pupils and staff about the incident has been digital, given the circumstances.

How did you react when you found out?

- With dismay. This is something extremely tragic. All our thoughts go to the victims' relatives in this extremely difficult moment they are in. The thoughts also go to classmates and staff.
