The man is also convicted of illegal threats and weapons violations. After the incident, police found a weapon among the clothes the man threw after the incident. Gothenburg District Court also decided that the man should pay more than half a million SEK in damages to the woman's relatives.
The man himself called SOS Alarm and told him that he had injured his ex-wife. “I want to sign up. I have beaten my former with a knife, ”says the transcript of the alarm call. Now, however, the man denies the crime even though he admitted that he was on the scene.
The prosecutor had pleaded to life imprisonment for murder, and specifically referred to the fact that she considered herself to have evidence that the murder had been planned, and that there was a motive for the deed.
"He did not accept that the woman married a new man," Prosecutor Lotta Nielsen told SVT News West earlier this summer.
