It was at the end of July that the man from western Värmland went to attack and threatened his girlfriend with death. The neighbors testify that the man came rushing into their kitchen, completely crazy with an ax in the highest chop.

Feared for his life

He screamed that he would put the ax in her forehead if she didn't come home and that the throats would fly if she said something wrong. He swung the ax and made a run, but calmed down and the police were called there. The woman has told her that she feared for her life and that the man had repeatedly threatened to kill her if she left him.

Prison and damages

Värmland District Court is now sentencing the man to nine months in prison for grossly unlawful threats and he is also to pay SEK 15,000 in damages to his former girlfriend. The man himself has not been able to admit or deny the act because of intoxication.
