The 16-year-old boy suspected of aiding a murder and attempted murder in Fagersta has been released from detention, although prosecutors say the suspicions against him remain.

Senior prosecutor Kajsa Frisk said investigators were continuing intensive work and examining whether the boy might be linked to other cases. She said no further details could be released because of confidentiality rules governing the preliminary investigation.

Police have said the boy was not present when the crimes took place and had no connection to Brinell School. The release therefore changes his detention status but does not end the investigation or remove him from suspicion.

The suspicions against him remain and an intensive investigation is under way. We are investigating possible links to other cases but cannot provide any information because of confidentiality in the preliminary investigation.

— Kajsa FriskThe senior prosecutor described the investigation after the boy’s release.
