Early on Sunday, December 14, 2025, police were alerted to a small locality in Tierp municipality in northern Uppland, Sweden, where a man was found dead in a residence. 'Circumstances at the scene make it so that the police cannot rule out that a crime is behind the man's death, and a preliminary investigation regarding murder is initiated,' the police stated on their website.
The area has been cordoned off, and a technical examination is being conducted to gather evidence. A forensic medical examination will also be performed to establish the exact cause of death. No further details about the man's identity or age have been released.
According to reports from Upsala Nya Tidning, an arrest took place earlier that Sunday in a nearby area, though police have declined to comment on this. The investigation remains in its early stages, and authorities are urging witnesses to come forward with information.
