Police nab suspects in Swedish murder probe

WARSAW, November 17, 2011 (AFP) - Police in Poland said Thursday they had detained two Polish nationals suspected of a brutal double homicide in Sweden, a national police headquarters statement said.

"Under a European arrest warrant, the men fell into the hands of the police just days after they left Sweden," the statement said, identifying the suspects only as 33-year-old Miroslaw T. and 40-year-old Jacek T. hailing from Slupsk, northern Poland.

The men are suspected of what police describe as the "brutal murder of two Swedish citizens aged 70 and 71" on the morning of October 19 in Gothenburg, western Sweden.

Neither of the suspects admitted to the crime, Polish prosecutors said.

"After tying up and gagging the victims, they bludgeoned the man in the head with a heavy object and strangled the woman. After the murder, they robbed the victims' home and safe," the police statement said.

A Polish court is expected to rule soon on the suspects being handed-over to Swedish justice authorities for trial.

Two arrested in Poland for 'brutal' farm killings

Published: 17 Nov 11 11:15 CET

Two people wanted for the brutal slaying of an elderly farming couple outside of Alingsås in western Sweden have been arrested in Poland.

The two men were arrested on Wednesday night by Polish police, according to a statement from police in Gothenburg.

The two men have long figured in the investigation of the October 19th killings of 69-year-old dairy farmer Torgny Antby and his 71-year-old wife Inger on their dairy farm in Långared outside of Alingsås.

An arrest warrant was issued for them on November 7th.

The couple was set to participate in a choir performance at a care home that day but failed to turn up. A group of friends and neighbours went to the couple's farm and called police after discovering Torgny Antby's body in a barn.

His wife's body was later discovered in the couple's house by police.

According to prosecutors, Torgny was killed after being repeatedly struck in the head with a hard object, while Inger died of strangulation.

Both victims had been tied up and had tape wrapped around their heads and faces.

The two suspects are also believed to have stolen a safe from the couple's home.

Two other men who had previously been held during the investigation's early stages on suspicion of carrying out the double murder have since been excluded from the ongoing probe.
