Police in Britain have detained a second person on suspicion of murdering a former minister, Svenska Yle reported. The arrest came shortly after officers released a 26-year-old man who had earlier been held in the same investigation.

Authorities have not said what led to the new arrest or how far the inquiry has progressed. Few details have been released so far about the former minister's death, and the case remains under active investigation.
