Residents of a peaceful apartment building in Malminkartano, Helsinki, are in shock following a violent incident that has occurred within their community. The police found a deceased woman and a seriously injured man in an apartment recently occupied by an elderly couple. The man, who was hospitalized, is under suspicion of having committed a homicide. The tranquility of the neighborhood has been disrupted, leaving residents grappling with the implications of this event.

On the day of the incident, a resident named Mirva Veijalainen returned home to find a grisly scene.

Newcomers to the building, who were an elderly couple from another city, had only recently settled in, and their introduction to the neighborhood now holds a tragic narrative.
