The main suspect, who has been in custody since August 27, has confessed to the murder. A psychiatric evaluation has been completed and the judge will decide whether the man was of compos mentis, Fréttabladid reports.
An autopsy report has been submitted along with other evidence, including a recording from a security camera showing the man who confessed to the murder throwing a knife in the Hafnarfjördur marina and shoes that belong to him which match a footprint found at the murder scene.
Formal conclusions from DNA analysis in Sweden have yet to arrive but once they do they will be used as evidence in this case.
