Swedish police have identified a woman found dead in Vänersborg municipality in early October. The deceased was a 45-year-old woman discovered near the suspect's residence.
A 65-year-old man has been held in custody for approximately one week on probable grounds for murder. The suspected crime occurred between September 1 and October 2 this year.
Prosecutor Robert Beckard said in a statement that the woman appeared to have lived with the man during the summer months. Vänersborg is a municipality in southwestern Sweden with about 40,000 residents.
This case highlights Sweden's ongoing challenges with violent crime despite its reputation as a peaceful nation. The age difference between victim and suspect raises questions about the nature of their relationship.
Police investigations continue as they build their case against the detained suspect.
