The investigation of the murder of the 36-year-old site's founder continues. Colleagues and friends in Stockholm and Gothenburg are being interviewed for the purpose of discovering any specific threats made against the man, but leads have been sparse. There is still no suspect for the murder.

Thord Haraldsson, director of county crime in Trollhättan, has not commented on the industry in which the victim worked, but he stated that he believes the victim was wealthy.

"There were contacts with Sweden from the USA. And some parts were left in Sweden, but if I took the right action was mostly in the U.S." said Thord Haraldsson.

Contacts with New York

Police work has so far been concentrated in Sweden, but the county crime unit has also made contact with authorities in New York where the victim lived, and where the mother of the man's child still lives.

Yesterday, the police's special children investigators questioned the two-year son.

"We have talked and played with him. Children Investigators do it in a special way, and they have been able to obtain certain information."

Autopsy

On Wednesday, an autopsy was performed. The technical investigation of the scene continues and there is no new information on how the offender entered the premises.

"There are cut-off marks, and it was the windows that were open."

The victim was shot to death but Thord Haraldsson did not wish to comment on the number of shots, or where on the body the man was shot. The police, however, should have an idea of what weapon was used.
