A third person has been detained in connection with a homicide in Oulu, Finland. The district court has now arrested three individuals suspected in the Sairaalanrinte murder case.
Police suspect two men aged 35 and 36, along with a 36-year-old woman, of involvement in the killing. The court processed the detention of the 36-year-old male suspect on Monday.
Authorities initially sought to detain a 28-year-old woman but later withdrew the request. She has been released according to police decision.
The suspected homicide occurred at the 36-year-old female suspect's apartment in Sairaalanrinte. Investigators believe the crime took place between October 17 and 22.
Police discovered the body of a man in his twenties at the woman's rental apartment on Wednesday, October 22. The apartment was empty when officers arrived.
Court records show the female suspect faces potential eviction from the murder apartment through legal proceedings. Despite this, she has not moved out.
All three suspects have previous criminal records, including multiple property crimes. Their backgrounds include various offenses beyond the current investigation.
