Then the police found that the suspect was dead – Mr. Forest said he seemed to have killed himself.
In an interview with Aftonbladet Tabloid, a relative of the suspect said he had not had much contact with the family in recent years and was unemployed.
“When a child was different but vital,” he said. “He has done well in school. But recent years have been difficult for him.”
Another relative said that the suspect, who was said to have changed his title eight years ago, was “retreating” and perhaps suffering from mental health problems.
They said: “Before, he had a friend who spent a lot of time with him, but not now. He wants to be alone. He doesn’t seem to love people a lot.”
