STOCKHOLM: A 70-year-old mother has been arrested in the Swedish capital for allegedly keeping her son in an apartment for 30 years.
A 40-year-old man was found injured in an apartment in Stockholm, according to a foreign news agency. According to Swedish media, a relative of the man informed the authorities about this.
According to Swedish media, a 40-year-old man was found lying on a blanket on the floor of the apartment, with wounds and fistulas on his body. He has no teeth in his mouth and is unable to speak.
According to the government prosecutor, the man has been admitted to hospital and is in need of surgery.
