Does Forbrydelsen have a character like Stephen Holder on The Killing?

I've wanted to watch this for years, but I haven't found a copy that I can afford yet. I really disliked "The Killing" but I kept watching, mostly to see Joel Kinneman in his role as Det. Stephen Holder. (I will say that the 3rd season was a huge improvement over the first 2!) Someone just told me that Kinneman was in Forbrydelsen, but that is clearly untrue as multiple searches for both Kinneman and Forbrydelsen have not linked the two. (Though I am glad I heard this untrue assertion because it led me to discover that Kinneman is half-Swedish and was raised in Sweden, which I had no idea about! It would never have occurred to me that Holder was being played by anyone other an American who had grown up in an environment in which people spoke with the unique patois he did in the show. He is quite an actor!)

I am wondering if Forbrydelsen had a character that was the equivalent or was the inspiration for the character of Holder? Looking at the cast list for Forbrydelsen there don't seem to be any main, male characters as young as Holder.

Without spoiling too much could you tell if the character of Sarah had a partner and how he compares with Holder?

I'm going to look some more and see if I can find any articles about how the writers of The Killing and Kinneman can up with the role. Hopefully, I'll get to finally watch Forbrydelsen which has got to be far better than The Killing!

Thanks in advance for any replies!
