Double Murder Update: Sigtuna Deny Rumours About the Mother
Electricity was never disconnected; Welfare was never denied

Swedish authorities refute claims or wrong-doing
To stop the spread of rumors and false information in the case of two murdered brothers, Sigtuna Municipality has decided to release confidential information on how they dealt with the matter. Meanwhile, both the National Social Welfare Board and the Schools Inspectorate are reviewing the municipality’s conduct in the case.
“It is disastrous that this has happened. How can we develop a system that increases the chances of detecting that this is happening?”, asked the head of Sigtuna Municipality’s Social Services, Jan Hellström.
The National Social Welfare Board has previously received complaints about Sigtuna’s social welfare management approach to matters concerning children, which has now made the authority to launch an investigation.
The Schools Inspectorate, in turn, wants to check how the municipality deals with the fact that the older boy, 8-year-old, did not come to school after the summer vacation.
“We have read and responded to the municipality information posted on their website. We will request a statement from the municipality on how their procedures for monitoring school attendance look like”, said the Agency’s General Counsel, Marie Axelsson.
She could not draw conclusions on the school’s actions, but noted that compulsory schooling is a shared responsibility between school, parents and the community.
“It is very important to be active, not to let go or give up, except try to get in touch with the home until the child comes to school”, says Marie Axelsson.
According to the municipality of Sigtuna, a lot of information that has circulated in the media in recent days has been wrong. Now it has decided to drop the confidentiality involving their role in the issue with the murder suspect, in order to stop the spread of rumors and inaccuracies.
This includes dismissing information that the murder suspect was denied income support. “The mother has never been denied income support. She requested and obtained an application form but did not return it”.
That the family lived in misery is not something the municipality knew. On August 28, the mother and her 4-year-old son met staff members from his preschool. She was then carrying two large shopping bags.
After the summer vacation, the mother had the first contact with the school and preschool, and said that the children were sick. As late as August 30, she still claimed that they had tonsillitis and chickenpox.
“Common infectious diseases of childhood normally keep children at home up to two weeks,” wrote Greger Svensson in a press statement.
It has also been claimed that the family’s electricity was disconnected. It should never have been. This allegation has been double-checked with the power company, according to the municipal director, Greger Svensson.
The municipality decided on Friday to “bring in an outside investigator with high integrity to get the most multi-pronged version of our actions as possible.”

wow, i wish they had taken their time to look into things BEFORE this tragedy… Anyway, hopefully this will change another persons life somewhere else in Sigtuna or Sweden!

Hej all comment leavers mind your own bussiness whether is 1,2,3,10 degree murder who cares its her life and don´t you concentrate with your life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ziggs, the younger generation especially wanawake, is worse than the older one.Wengi hawana agenda and think life is about surviving kwa wazee ama social welfare ya waswidi.
Osewe jina mapepe ulitoa wapi?
KSB: Mmmm it’s a derivation from the word “papers”, if that will do for now.
freddy #7 the comment section is for that reason and you cannot dictate what one writes because the blog belongs to Osewe who has the sole right to do so.and don’t dare insult commentators coz if you cannot substantiate your claims.
KSB: The problems is that the blog is almost being taken over by you guys with my job having been reduced to approving comments. I never expected this kind of reaction because I was just straightening a point and trying to put the record straight. I don’t think people should fear KSB. They should have respect for one another.
Osewe i dont know you and i have never met you….but my impression of you is that “you are one of the most intelligent kenyans in Stockholm”! this is because you dont/never write nonsence things and your way of writing shows that you are a kenyan who know what he writes …
I respect you alot.
//S
KSB: Thanks Ruguru. It’s a rare compliment and I feel so much flattered.
What a pity…..yaani wakenya in stckholm and especially the women r to blame. Why did u not rally around her? why let the system deal with her? mzee jomo kenyatta started something called harambee……why did you guys not rally around this young mother and support her? I am shocked that a young mother could be left to the system. what a shame on the kenyan society
Grace Ouko, the tragedy has nothing to do with Wakenya collectively. Since we don’t have a common organization uniting Kenyans, either blame it on the murder suspect’s close friends, or the lady herself. Many Kenyans don’t/didn’t know the woman and have/had never seen her before the incident.
Sigtuna Municipality has already noted its effort to help the lady who never returned the forms requesting for welfare assistance. No electricity had been disconnected in her apartment, contrary to her friend, Sophia Njoroge’s allegations, so please leave the Kenyan society out of the horrible saga. Await the verdict like all of us are doing.
Grace ouko i wonder where you live! This woman had all the madness you can think about! Wherever she went it was just mdomo mdomo with other people’s stories! She is a person who would call the migration department to tell them about someone who is hiding here in Stockholm ! Too bad that the time of the tragedy many were happy that at least nowadays she is silent !!!! You have never seen a good society like the Kenya Stockholm society!
Grace Ouko…you just have to go back in Arkiv here in this blogg and see this womans big mouth. She used to write boosting how she hade opened children home in Thika!! please if you dont know who she she and how big mouth she has….and how much shit she can talk about everybody else…then please find out before you accuse Kenyans.
This woman no wonder she killed,she always thought she knew best,most clever,and was richest of all kenyans,…and she used to say she was the most beautiful woman i Stockholm.
Those who knew her can tell how cheap and big mouth she is. This so called her friend xxxxxx ,she is another demon in stockholm who takes other peoples children to her house,claiming that their own mothers are not responsible.
She is a big pretender/snake and a very good match to other devil who killed her kids.
I am so sorry for my assumptions. I guess i was just reacting first hand from an african and kenyan point of view coming from the way things r done nyumbani. well the word of God says every deed is a seed….kila tendo ni mbegu. Everything u do is a seed u r planting. Ukipanda mbegu inamea na ikimea utavuna.So…..life is a bitch and u learn to deal with it. If u cannot……kill yourself and let others be…..
The ´kommun and the power company are avoiding bad public publicity..The capitalists way of working off course the accused is an immagrant who is sterotyped to fit a certain mould, in this society.The newspapapers want to sell, therefore they lack objectivity about the kommun+ power company no one wants to be blamed for the tragedy.. That said don’t missunderstand me, all said the above doesn’t justfy the loss of innocent lives.. However the roles played by both should not be ignored..
Of all the people this lady cannot be trusted either by the devil or the Lord.learn to research better before you comment.How do you know whether both ladies were sharing the same man.
Timmna you r right….i really do not know but still…….let he who is without sin throw the first stone. Nobody has said anyhting good about this lady…..but remember none of us is without sin. People stop crucifying her….remember she has to live with this the rest of her life. It would have been better for her, no matter what she was going thru to kill herself instead of her children
