It was on June 29 that a man was found dead after the rescue service responded to an alarm about a forest fire.

Criminal suspicion arose and the police later arrested a man in his 60s and a woman in her 50s.

The man was arrested in July on suspicion of murder, arson and breach of the peace.

The woman was also arrested on suspicion of arson and breach of the peace, but both deny the crime.

It is now clear that a third person will also be arrested.

A 55-year-old man and a resident of Pajala municipality is arrested on suspicion of murder.

During the day, at 2 pm and 3 pm respectively, prosecutors have requested that the couple who are already in custody be remanded in custody.
