Prosecutor Changes Charge – Woman Sought for Detention in Falköping
Skaraborgs Nyheter can confirm that the woman in her 40s who was arrested following a suspected violent crime in Falköping Municipality has now been sought for detention on probable grounds suspected of serious assault.
It was during the night into Sunday that police were called to a residential property in the countryside of Falköping Municipality following reports of a brawl. Near the residence, a man was found with facial injuries which were initially assessed to have been caused by a weapon.
The woman was arrested at the scene and held in custody on suspicion of attempted murder. Aftonbladet reported early on that she is said to be a former Member of Parliament, something which Skaraborgs Nyheter now confirms.
On Tuesday, the Prosecution Authority announced that the charge had been changed. The suspicion of attempted murder is being replaced by serious assault, and the detention request was submitted on that basis.
