Five young people are under arrest after the suspected double murder in an apartment in Ulricehamn the night before last Wednesday.

Three of them have now been remanded in custody, including a man in his 20s who is suspected of murder.

- Partly the man who is suspected of murder, and partly two people who are suspected of attempted aggravated robbery, says prosecutor Martin Svensson to TT.

Climbed on the balcony

According to the prosecutor, two people must have tried to get into the apartment of the man now suspected of murder by climbing onto his balcony and breaking the window of the balcony door.

The man is then in the apartment together with a girl who is under 18 years old.

In addition to those who enter the apartment, there are at least two more people outside.

The apartment owner is said to have armed himself with a knife and when the men entered, according to himself, he slashed at the intruders in self-defense.

The two people are said to have died in the apartment.

Argument over drug market

In the investigation, the prosecutor states that information has emerged that the man suspected of murder sells narcotics and that at least four people, the two deceased and the two who were requested to be detained for attempted aggravated robbery, together must have sought out the man now suspected of murder because they believe he is trespassing at their drug market in Ulricehamn.
