“A request has been made for his extradition,” said prosecutor Lars Wilhemlmsson. “It is regarding a murder that occurred during the unrest in Kosovo.”
A Kosovo court ordered the man to be arrested in March. He is believed to have shot and killed a woman in 1998. The man was taken in for questioning by Malmö police and then detained back in May.
