Lohja Murder Investigation: Friends Report Suspect's Behavior Changed After Move

Friends of a young mother suspected of killing her newborn infant say her behavior shifted after moving to Lohja. The 19-year-old began distancing herself from close companions and canceling plans at the last minute with unusual excuses. Two close friends and one friend's mother spoke about the changes they observed. Their identities remain protected as the suspect has not been formally charged. The young woman lived in a Lohja apartment building during the investigation. Friends told reporters they were unaware of her pregnancy until after the infant's death. Police continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the newborn's death. The case has drawn attention to how communities respond when violent crimes occur in small Finnish cities. This tragic situation shows how isolation can sometimes precede serious crimes without anyone recognizing the warning signs.
