Key Points

Chief Prosecutor Per-Erik Rinsell said that despite a thorough investigation, the evidence did not reach the strength required for indictment and was not expected to. He noted there were probable grounds for suspicion but not sufficient grounds for indictment. The case will be transferred to the police's cold case unit.
