The man has been ordered by a court to be held in custody, local media reported, reports the Mirror.
He has, however, denied all charges.
The woman weighed less than 40 kilos when she was admitted to hospital earlier this week, Swedish television channel SVT reported on its website.
A prosecutor told news agency TT there was no indication this was due to ill treatment, but rather to her illness.In a further twist to the case, authorities have not been able to verify the identity of the 58-year-old. The identity he provided to the police was that of a man who was declared dead eight years ago, according to official records. (ANI)
