The woman had earlier the same day called police after windows in the house were smashed by people who wanted to "f---"* with her, reported Aftonbladet. Police visited the woman at the time and made a report.

A gang of 4 persons is suspected to be behind the act, but since one of those involved is under 15, he will escape punishment and is not being held, according to the police.

According to information obtained by Aftonbladet, four persons were seen at the address just before the fire. They have also been identified in connection with the harassment, according to the newspaper's information.

*Translator's note: "F--- with" as in harass.

Update: In the Swedish blog, Pettersson's Blogg, there is also an article on this incident. For what it is worth, one reader (Kurt) states that Nässjö is known as "little Mogadishu".
