It has been four months since the two young women, 18 and 20 years old, were arrested and detained on suspicion of involvement in 21-year-old Tove’s disappearance. Today, District Attorney Adam Rullman requested that they be detained for another three weeks, before charges can be filed. The twenty-year-old has agreed to the extended prosecution period.
According to Adam Rullman, the investigation will be handed over to the defense and the suspects during the week. Charges are now expected to come no later than March 17.
May take part in the evidence
– There will be at least a fourteen-day service period, writes Adam Rullman in an email to SVT Nyheter Jönköping.
An answer is still awaited from the Swedish National Agency for Medicines, but otherwise the investigation is now complete. This means that the two women and their defenders will now have access to the evidence against them.
The older of the women has admitted that she abused Tove so that she died, while the younger one only admitted that she helped move the dead body from the apartment where Tove died to the forest where she was later found.
