Global Manhunt for Suspected Swedish Double Murderer

Published: 2024-03-24

Interpol has issued a worldwide alert for 35-year-old Othman Asalya, the prime suspect in a double homicide case in Nässjö, Sweden.

The tragic incident, which occurred on February 29th, saw two young men, aged 20 and 25, found dead with stab wounds in a burning apartment.

Asalya, who has a history of violence and is related to a convicted murderer, was previously charged in absentia for an attempted robbery and has managed to delay that trial multiple times.

Authorities believe Asalya may no longer be in Sweden, prompting the international manhunt led by prosecutor Emma Harrius.
