Overview

• The witness said he heard a window smash and a Finnish-speaking intruder while playing online with a 32-year-old woman in Puumala.
• He emailed local police around 5 a.m. on April 23 after losing contact, and officers found the woman dead in her living room the next day.
• Investigators traced the suspect from Imatra to Puumala before he drove north to Juva and set a barn on fire.
• A neighbor saw the burning man emerge from the barn; paramedics took him to hospital, where he died.
• Police say the suspect was unknown to the victim, found no terrorism link, and have not established a motive, suggesting the home was targeted for accessibility and because its lights were on.
