It was at the end of July that the man is suspected of having murdered a man in his 30s and then set fire to his apartment in southern Malmö.

“Investigators and staff at the intelligence service have looked broadly in the investigation of this murder and worked persistently and persistently.

It is satisfactory that we have reached a suspect, even though we still have a lot to do in the case," says Louise Pålsson, head of serious crimes in Malmö, in a statement on the police's website.
