New announcement about prosecution after the murder in Rönninge: The investigation in the final phase

- The final service of the preliminary investigation is ongoing and charges are expected to be filed at the earliest date specified, says senior prosecutor Markus Hankkio in a press release.

According to the prosecutor, the investigation is in the final phase. The extensive material must now be compiled and reviewed before prosecution.

The prosecution period has been extended several times in the past. In September, the prosecutor stated that the investigation was delayed, among other things, by waiting for a response from the National Forensic Center, NFC, to submitted samples. At a late stage, new technical evidence had also been received.

The 26-year-old man has been in custody since December last year, suspected of the murder of 25-year-old My during the Christmas holiday in Rönninge, Salem municipality.

At the end of September, the Södertälje district court decided that the man should be remanded in custody. This means that he will remain in custody even though the usual nine-month time limit for the detention of adults has passed. In order to extend detention beyond that limit, special reasons are required.

The man has confessed to gross violation of grave peace and gross child pornography, but denies murder.
