The police's sharp criticism of Leif GW in the Brattås investigation

Something that indicates that after the murders, someone dragged her into the barn and then left the imprint. Which in turn means that the holder of the DNA cannot be directly tied to having also carried out the murders, says Leif GW Persson.

Airs discontent

The information about what the DNA trace secured in Brattås was made of is something that the police deliberately chose not to make public during the preliminary investigation. This is to keep precisely the central detail of the investigation secret if any suspect were to be arrested and heard about the matter.

The police's investigation manager Josefine Perming Tengqvist is now for the first time coming out and airing the police's dissatisfaction that the information about the DNA trace became public knowledge through SVT's publication. And she does that in the new SVT documentary "Dna-spåret: Double murder in Brattås" with Carina Bergfeldt as presenter.

- That he tells us about the only exclusive detail we have in the investigation, that the DNA is on a sock, it also provides an excellent model of explanation for a suspect, says Josefine Perming Tengqvist.

SVT finds no previous publication

SVT has searched but could not find any media publication about the location of the DNA trace before the interview on April 8 last year.

But the criminology professor stands his ground:

- Yes, it has been known for a long time! That they have secured a DNA on that sock. It is not me who set out with that task. That task became known as early as 2005, says Leif GW Persson.

In a later email exchange with him, she writes to SVT:

"The simple explanation is that the police are worried that the Court of Appeal will acquit him and have already started looking for someone they can blame."
