It was during the night of May 20 that a fire broke out in an apartment on Ersboda in Umeå. In the apartment were several people, including children. A man was arrested during the night and later arrested for the crime.

The prosecutor then told SVT:

-A man has been arrested on probable cause of arson. He was arrested at 04 and arrested two hours later, Andreas Nyberg said.

But now the man has been released and instead a woman has been arrested for the murder.

Why was the man released?

- No suspicions exist anymore, says Ulf Holst, a lawyer for the 35-year-old man.
