Sun, 26 Jul, 2015 12:08:07 AM FTimes - STT Report, July 26  The care home in Muhos on Saturday, 25 July 2015. Photo – Lehtikuva. A staff member at a children’s care home in Muhos, Northern Ostrobothnia has been found dead early Saturday night. The victim was 58 years old.
The police arrested some suspects, who were residents of the same home in connection with the murder.
They are not adult, but more than 15 years old, said the police.
“We have some idea of the course of events, the weapon, the technique and background factors of the suspects, but because the investigation is in its infancy, we cannot tell the details at this moment,” said senior investigating officer Petri Savela.
Furthermore, the police did not disclose the number of suspects. They are, however, more than one.
The male counsellor, who was born in 1957, was found dead, when the police arrived on the scene early Saturday morning.
The police received the alarm and arrived at the scene at about one o’clock in the morning. According to the police, the suspects had fled the scene by stealing a car belonging to the children’s care home.
The suspects were later seen in Kuopio and their car was stopped. According to the police, they were apprehended peacefully.

However, Savela did not agree at this stage of the investigation to explain why the case was being investigated as murder.
According to the criminal law, a killing becomes murder, if it is premeditated, in a particularly brutal or cruel manner, a serious danger to the public and by causing or killing a public official in an official capacity during security or official acts.
In addition, the offence must, as a whole, also be assessed as aggravated.
According to Savela, after interrogating the suspects, they will question the care home owners and witnesses and then there will follow a technical investigation.
Since it is necessary to isolate the site of the murder, the investigation affects in one way or another the care home’s activities.
Child Protection Services Director for “Friends of the Young” Kati Lehtola said both children and staff had been offered crisis advice.
“We will try to get back to normal as soon as possible, endeavouring to provide the secure framework of everyday family life within the home,” Lehtola said.
