A dangerous transgender person aged 26 who calls himself Vilma Andersson has been placed in pretrial detention on probable cause for the crime of murder and serious desecration of a corpse after a brutal crime committed in the municipality of Salem during the Christmas holidays.
The victim, a 25-year-old woman, disappeared on the night of December 25 to 26 and was found dead days later. The arrest took place when the suspect was caught in a wooded area trying to bury body parts.
The young woman was last seen at the Rönninge commuter train station shortly after midnight on December 26, 2025, after spending the evening with friends in downtown Stockholm.

When they had no news from her, family and friends raised the alarm and a large-scale search operation was launched with police officers, helicopters, drones, and volunteers. Near the station, objects such as headphones, plastic zip ties, and a hammer were found, which reinforced suspicions of a crime.
On December 30, ""Vilma Andersson"", called Robin and legally registered as a man, was placed in pretrial detention by the Södertälje District Court. During the hearing, held by videoconference, the defendant remained silent with his arms crossed.
His defense attorney, Karl Harling, indicated that his client denies the murder, although he acknowledges part of the handling of the body after death, which constitutes a serious crime of desecration of a corpse.

Prosecutor Markus Hankkio emphasized that there is no known relationship between the victim and the suspect, so the attack appears to have been random. The exact location of the homicide has not yet been precisely determined, although it is believed that it occurred in Rönninge or at another point in Stockholm County, while part of the acts related to the desecration were committed in Södertälje.
The court imposed very strict restrictions: total isolation without contact with other inmates, access to news, internet, visits, or correspondence, motivated by the risk of flight and reoffending.
In addition, a forensic psychiatric examination was ordered to assess whether he suffers from a serious mental disorder. ""Vilma Andersson"" has a criminal record. In 2019 he was sentenced to prison for the attempted kidnapping of a 10-year-old girl and for possession of serious child pornography.
After serving his sentence, he obtained protected identity status and changed his name several times, eventually adopting ""Vilma Andersson"", a name that has caused controversy due to its similarity to that of Wilma Andersson, the 17-year-old teenager who was murdered and dismembered in Uddevalla in 2019.

The case has caused a strong shock in Sweden. Many citizens express outrage at the fact that a previously convicted offender for sexual and violent crimes could change identity and commit a new serious crime.
The investigation is still ongoing. Upcoming steps include the autopsy to determine the exact cause of death and the analysis of the suspect's electronic devices.
The prosecutor has until January 27, 2026 to file formal charges. The residents of Rönninge mourn the young woman, who is described as cheerful and sociable. ""It seems unreal that something like this could happen here"", a neighbor told the media.
