It was a passer-by who alerted the police on Friday morning.

- The man has injuries that can not be explained completely logically, so a preliminary investigation into murder is being initiated, says Carina Skagerlind, at the police command center.

The site was cordoned off for technical inspection.

Unidentified

At half past four on Friday afternoon, the man had not yet been identified.

- Now we will investigate what kind of injuries to the body and we are working to establish identity, says Ola Österling at the Stockholm Police.
