Ida Viderlund, the boy's defence lawyer, says that the boy was released on Wednesday evening.
– I received the message late last night that he has been released, she says.
Both the boy and the man were "reasonably arrested" on suspicion of murder, which is the lower level of suspicion.
Is the boy still a suspect?
– I have had not had close contact with the investigator, so I cannot answer that question at the moment, says Viderlund.
She says she hasn't had contact with the boy yet either.
– But the fact that my client is released is of course positive.
During the week, the boy, accompanied by Viderlund, was questioned several times.
What do you think of the evidence presented?
- I can state that it is the lower level of suspicion that my client had been arrested on, says Viderlund.
The adult man is still in custody, says the man's defence lawyer, Jens Nyström. No later than 12 o'clock today, prosecutor Linnea Hedström must make a decision whether the man should be released or continue to be detained.
At the same time, another person has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the murder, reports SVT Nyheter Västerbotten .The man is 55 years old, according to SVT.
