Finnish media in the morning continued extensive coverage of the Savonlinna family murder case, with a neighbor describing an unusual situation at the 22-year-old suspect's home. Early afternoon saw authorities formally demanding the arrest of the father suspected of the quadruple murder and arson. Concurrently, the foster mother in the Anneli Auer children's trial testified about strict restrictions and damage to her reputation, with Helsingin Sanomat later reporting her admitting children lacked home keys and were restricted from the fridge. International news included Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov stating the EU and NATO were at war with Russia, and discussions on a potential decrease in US support for Ukraine.
