The children were found lifeless in a terraced house in the Lina hage district on Tuesday evening. The police received a report of a violent incident just before 8 p.m., and large roadblocks were set up at the scene.
– Two adult family members have been arrested, suspected of murder, said police spokesperson Per Fahlström to TT on Wednesday morning. Furthermore, he said that technical investigations were carried out.
One of those arrested has been sent to hospital with serious injuries. A neighbor reported the incident, and the two arrested were still inside the home when the police arrived, Expressen learns. Avisa further learns that it is the arrested man who is seriously injured, and that the police have identified a possible motive after findings in the home. Aftonbladet learns that the arrested person has suffered stab wounds.
The public prosecutor’s office states in a press release that there are reasonable grounds to suspect the two of murder, and that a decision will be made by Saturday at 12 o’clock whether or not they should be remanded in custody.
The police are sparse with information, but say that they are not looking for more perpetrators. During the night to Wednesday, witness interviews and technical investigations were carried out at the crime scene.
– I cannot say much more now, either about age, gender or what has happened beyond the fact that two minor children have died, said Fahlström.
