Director of Investigation, Crime Commissioner Jari Kiiskinen The Häme police say that the case is being investigated as a murder based on the characteristic elements of the crime. These include planning, brutality and cruelty.
Doubts arose
A 69-year-old man was found dead in his private house shortly before noon on August 1. The man’s cause of death has previously been investigated as a cause of death investigation. The police have not previously informed about the matter in more detail, because it was initially not suspected that the matter was related to a crime.
– Suspicions arose at the stage when the fire and cause of death investigation was carried out. I will not take a more detailed stand on the matter, comments Kiiskinen.
