A district court in southwest Finland has remanded a 44-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman in custody on suspicion of murder following a fatal incident in Turku, reports Finnish broadcaster Yle.

Police initially detained four individuals in connection with the case, but two have since been released. Authorities stated that investigations and interrogations no longer implicate the released suspects in the killing, though inquiries into their potential involvement continue.

The homicide occurred in a private residence on Pormestarinkatu in Turku’s Lauste district on Tuesday. The pre-trial investigation remains ongoing, with further interrogations and technical examinations planned.
