The death was considered unexpected and deceased was therefore routinely sent to autopsy. Police also moved out of the residence and conducted a crime scene investigation the same day.

– The investigation has been ongoing for a long time and we have worked hard to analyze and interpret the evidence that has gradually entered. Only recently we had sufficient basis for determining charges and arrest of a person, says Spell, which alerts the police will hold a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
