Police are investigating whether a 13-year-old girl who died after being hit by a train in central Sweden last week may have committed suicide after being bullied online.
Last Friday, the girl died after stepping in front a passing train near Kumla, 15 kilometres south of Örebro.
Police began to suspect the teen's death was a suicide after learning she had been subjected to cyberbullying.
"This girl had been filmed and photographed and the images were posted on the internet, or there were threats that they would be," Örebro police spokesman Mats Nylén told Svergies Television (SVT).
According to SVT, police suspect a boy over the age of 15 may have been responsible for the online bullying.
Sexual harassment, making illegal threats, and illegal coercion are among the possible crimes with which the boy could be charged. Full story...
