• The police were alerted to a serious incident that occurred at UKK just before 7pm on Tuesday evening in connection with a tribute performance to Abba.

  • A man in his 80s had fallen from the sixth floor down to the entrance floor and landed on two people.

    The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

  • At 20:00 that evening, the police confirmed that another man in his 60s who was on the entrance floor had died and that a woman in her 60s had been taken to hospital.

    According to the University Hospital, she did not need to be admitted for treatment.

  • After the incident, UKK was closed for almost a week.

    When they reopened, there were guards on every floor.

  • A report of manslaughter was made, but dropped by the police after a week because the suspect was deceased.

  • In September 2021, a review of the incident will be completed.

    In it, it appears that the man in his 80s took his own life by falling from the sixth floor.

    Both the municipality's security coordinator and an external expert recommend higher glass on the sixth floor.

  • In January 2023, it is clear that the railings must be raised from 113 to 170 cm to prevent similar events.

    The new protective measures will only be in place this summer.
