status of the two injured girls<\/a>. One child was left in a critical condition and the other in a serious condition.<\/p>\nAdministrative manager for work and learning Ulrika Bostr\u00f6m did not want to comment on the initial report to Ivo into the incident provided by Sm\u00e5landsposten.<\/p>\n
Bostr\u00f6m said she could not \u201cconfirm or deny\u201d whether the report was linked to the Lekaryd case and referred all questions to Swedish police.<\/p>\n
When approached by the Herald, Swedish police media could not provide information as the investigations continued. <\/p>\n
In March last year, police began looking into allegations that Koopu had abused his former wife, but that investigation closed after one month, Smalandsposten reported.<\/p>\n
Case papers with the Vaxjo District Court in Sweden showed his wife filed for divorce in June. Koopu twice appealed the application \u2013 once in August to the Court of Appeal, then to the Supreme Court in December. Both appeals were denied.<\/p>\n
The couple\u2019s divorce was reportedly finalised just two days before the attack. The divorce papers confirmed the couple had been living apart for more than two years, which met the criteria for a granting a divorce judgment.<\/p>\n
The couple moved to Sweden in 2013 and built their own family home.<\/p>\n
Crisis management was activated by the municipality and was offered to students and staff across Alvesta in the first four days after the incident.<\/p>\n
It included keeping select schools open for the first few days of the school holidays to offer a safe space to those seeking comfort, as well as social support workers and the local church being involved.<\/p>\n
Municipality head of administration Marit Persson confirmed to the Herald the girls were of secondary and primary school age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This week the board of the Alvesta municipality said it could not rule out the incident as \u201cserious…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":477684,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1554,1763,89,536,16423,4058,9539,90934,9064,13838,37601,296,111,43,139,69,1118,17398,36303,7819,246006,56111,1961,61,1455],"class_list":["post-490768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-alleged","tag-article","tag-attack","tag-care","tag-cites","tag-contains","tag-content","tag-disturbing","tag-fathers","tag-girls","tag-inquiry","tag-into","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-of","tag-possible","tag-prior","tag-shooting","tag-shortcomings","tag-swedish","tag-this","tag-to","tag-warning"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/477684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
