The suspect is in his 60s and lived with the deceased woman who was approaching her 70s.

The investigation is in an initial stage and the Public Prosecutor's Office does not wish to comment further at this time.

- We are awaiting the forensic autopsy result, which is crucial for the case's continued handling, says chamber prosecutor Ulrika Schönbeck, who is responsible for the investigation.
