A man in his mid-40s has been remanded in custody on probable cause for the unsolved double murder at a farm in Brattås outside Härnösand in the summer of 2005. The arrest was enabled by DNA-based genealogy research following a new law change last year. Prosecutor Hanna Flordal confirms the man's DNA matches the trace from the crime scene.
An inmate has been taken to hospital after an assault at Saltviksanstalten prison in Härnösand. Police were called on Tuesday afternoon and have detained four suspected men, all inmates at the facility. The incident is classified as attempted murder.
