A large area is blocked off. The police are still on the scene in the morning hours on Wednesday with many crews. The forensic investigations began on the night of Wednesday and are still ongoing on Wednesday morning.

– It’s usually quiet here. There was more noise a few years ago, says a woman who lives in the townhouse area to Aftonbladet.

The police are sparse with information, but say that they are not looking for more perpetrators.

– I cannot say much more now, either about age, gender or what has happened beyond the fact that two minor children have died, says police spokesperson Per Fahlström, according to NTB/TT.
