- After the man has been questioned this afternoon and based on what has otherwise emerged in the investigation during these days, the suspicions against the suspect woman have weakened.
I have judged that she should not be requested to be detained and she is set free, says chamber prosecutor Emma Olsson.
According to Emma Olsson, the investigation against the woman has not been closed and the criminal suspicions against her remain.
- But they have weakened and I judge that the woman can not influence the investigation in a negative way.
We will now next investigate the circumstances that lie further back in time, she says.
