A boy was also found injured at the scene and the father is suspected of having murdered his daughter before he took his own life.

The investigation is now closed because preliminary investigations are not carried out against deceased persons, according to chief prosecutor Pernilla Åström.

The boy has been questioned by the police and has been able to give a clear picture of the course of events.

Pernilla Åström tells Expressen that all information indicates that no other person was involved, and that the man tried to kill the boy before he took his own life.

The boy was taken to the hospital and will be out with no lasting physical injuries.

The death investigation will also be closed, but exactly when is yet to be determined as police are still handling the final parts of the case.

Åström does not want to comment on whether there were any warning signals or whether the police had been involved before.
