A 33-year-old man has been detained indefinitely after being charged with the murder of a 38-year-old man in Aalborg.

A 33-year-old man has been charged with the murder of a 38-year-old man that allegedly took place at a residence in southwest Aalborg last night. Following the incident, the suspect was presented at a preliminary hearing but was unable to attend the court due to his condition.
