The man was arrested the same day for attempted aggravated assault and he is also being investigated for a suspected theft.

- I will make a decision if I intend to send in an arrest petition on Tuesday afternoon.

Or I know what I intend to do, but there is nothing I can go out with right now, says Johan Henningsson, prosecutor at the Public Prosecutor's Office in Kalmar.

Convicted of more crimes

The prosecutor's arrest petition must be submitted no later than Wednesday morning. In addition to the fatal accident in Skrika, the man has also been convicted of other crimes such as illegal driving, drug offenses and drunk driving.
