The police in Sweden approached the woman’s family yesterday. The questioning must have taken place over the phone, news is told by family members. In the summer of 2019, they traveled to Årjäng in Sweden to look for the woman in her 60s. The family in Norway had not heard from her for a long time and were worried. The now-accused man in his 50s said the woman was out walking the dog, but when neighbors in the neighborhood said they hadn’t seen her for a year, they realized something must be wrong, and reported it to the local police. – Nothing happened. Nothing, says the relative to news. – Completely incomprehensible On Thursday last week, the woman was found dead in a freezer. The police believe she may have been lying there since 2018. The relative in Norway is happy that Swedish investigators have now contacted them, but reacts to the fact that it took so long. – It is completely incomprehensible that they did not address this. It was a serious message. It’s a person who hasn’t been seen for a long time, and they didn’t catch it, says the relative to news. The relative shows, among other things, that the man who is now charged with desecration of a corpse has several convictions against him. – The police should know that this is a man with a criminal past, says the relative. Neither the police nor the prosecution have answered news’s inquiries today. Investigations completed Yesterday, the police confirmed that the family’s concern and inquiry had already been registered in the police’s systems in 2019. – It was never formally reported to the police, but the family was still worried and therefore contacted the Swedish police, says Per-Olav Forsman at the police’s department for serious crimes in Karlstad. Some control information was collected in the case before the police concluded the investigations. They now want to question them about the woman and the concern they reported almost four years ago. – It is about some relatives who are to be questioned now, and then of course we will also bring up the fact that they made contact already in 2019, says Forsman .
