The young man suspected of murdering two family members in Luleå earlier this year suffers from a serious mental disorder, according to a forensic psychiatric examination. The examination follows a minor so-called paragraph seven examination that indicated that the man could be mentally ill.

The man has confessed to the murders in the first interrogations. He has been detained on probable cause on suspicion of two counts of murder since March 10. According to police and prosecutors, all three belong to the same family and no outsider is suspected of a crime.
