Two individuals arrested in connection with a suspected murder in Kumla, Sweden, have been released from custody, according to official reports. The suspects, a man in his 40s and a woman in her 30s, were taken into custody on Friday after a man in his 40s was found dead near rental housing in central Kumla.
Prosecutor Martin Drugge, who is leading the investigation, stated that suspicions against the two have weakened significantly. "The suspicions against them have weakened so much that there was no longer any reason to keep them detained," Drugge said in a statement reported by SVT Örebro.
