Woman arrested after man found dead on boat in Askersund
A man was found lifeless on Wednesday on a boat in Askersund. Police have opened a preliminary investigation into unlawful killing with unclear circumstances as the classification.
The woman who was on the same vessel has been deprived of liberty on the lower level of suspicion. She is suspected with reasonable grounds of being responsible for the man's death, according to the prosecution.
– My client denies the charges, defence counsel Peter Sivenius tells Expressen.
Chief prosecutor Clara Åbyhammar explains that the investigation is being led as a suspected murder because it is not yet possible to establish what caused the death. The police are further working with technical analyses and interviews to clarify the sequence of events.
The deceased's next of kin have been notified of the death.
