Level 10 · 8 mo agoThe handling of the crime scene was amateurish. Not securing the area is basic stuff. It reminds me of a team with zero defensive structure. Sad that a PM paid the price for that lack of execution.

Level 3 · 8 mo agoI refuse to believe Engström did it lol. Blaming a dead guy with zero DNA is just a way for the police to save face after botching the investigation. It's just lazy and solves absolutely nothing.
