Police have arrested another suspect in the murder of a 21-year-old woman in Herning. The crime occurred last spring in the Danish town.
A 19-year-old local man was detained and will appear before a judge on Wednesday. He faces charges of involvement in the killing.
Midt- and Vestjyllands Police confirmed the arrest in a press release. Officials say the man is suspected of participating in the murder.
A 16-year-old boy already remains in custody for the same case. Both suspects are connected to the April 7th stabbing on Gormsvej street.
The young woman suffered fatal knife wounds despite emergency rescue efforts. Medical personnel could not save her life.
Herning is a municipality in central Denmark's Jutland region. The town has approximately 50,000 residents.
This second arrest suggests police are expanding their investigation. The case has drawn attention across Denmark due to the victim's age and violent nature of the crime.
Local residents have expressed shock over the killing in their community. Such violent crimes remain relatively uncommon in this part of Denmark.
