A 90-year-old man is suspected of attempted murder of a close acquaintance in Skellefteå. The incident occurred during a fight in a residence in Skellefteå on Sunday, where the 90-year-old and a 60-year-old man clashed, leading to a physical altercation. According to police, the 90-year-old used a knife during the fight.
The 60-year-old received immediate medical care but was not seriously injured. Police say alcohol was involved, but the exact reason for the fight is unclear as there are no witnesses and neither man could specify the cause. Both men were released on Tuesday, but suspicions remain: the older man is still suspected of attempted murder, and the younger man is suspected of assault.
The men are not previously known to police and have a close relationship, though police did not specify the nature of it. Police noted it is unusual for a 90-year-old to be involved in a knife fight.
