A man in his 45s has been arrested and requested to be detained for the double murder in Brattås, Härnösand in 2005. The arrest was made possible by DNA-based genealogy, a method allowed by a new law since last summer, according to senior prosecutor Hanna Flordal. The suspect's DNA matched traces found at the crime scene, according to senior prosecutor Hanna Flordal.
The suspect denies the charges, according to his defense lawyer. The detention hearing will be held on Friday in Ångermanlands District Court, according to the court. Senior prosecutor Hanna Flordal is available for media on Friday, April 10, after the detention hearing is concluded, according to the prosecutor's office.
The case number in Ångermanlands District Court is B 1029-26, according to the court. The suspect is described as a quiet loner who lived alone and was rarely seen, according to neighbors and family. Artist Moto Boy (Oskar Humlebo) was falsely accused on social media of being the murderer, according to Humlebo himself.
