Man remanded in custody after fire in multi-family dwelling in central Sveg
A man was remanded in custody on Monday suspected of arson in Sveg, reports op.se. The suspicion concerns a fire that broke out in a multi-family dwelling in central Sveg late on Friday evening.
The emergency services were called at 21:17 to the property. The fire was extinguished, but smoke had spread to several flats. No persons are reported to have been injured.
Prosecutor David Kahl, who is leading the investigation, states that it is too early to release details about the incident.
"It is too early in the investigation," he says.
The man is also suspected of assault on a public official in connection with his arrest, but Kahl states that he does not intend to request remand for that suspicion.
The police on-duty investigating officer Anton Löfgren confirmed on Monday afternoon that the remand hearing had been held and that the suspected man had been remanded in custody on probable cause.
