It was on Thursday last week that the trial began.

After three days of negotiations, the district court has decided to lift the arrest of the man and he has been released, VLT reports.

He has been in custody since May.

- Very gratifying that my client has been released.

It has been a very stressful time for my client, given the state of the evidence, I now expect an acquittal, says the defender, lawyer Per Svedlund, to the newspaper.

The suspect denies the crime.

The verdict in the case is scheduled to be announced on August 9, according to VLT.
