Timråbon and the young woman have known each other for a long time and, according to both, have never had anything countless with each other. One evening at the end of June, the 26-year-old was supposed to be sleeping over with the woman because he did not have a permanent home.

Was changed

The evening started, according to the woman, calmly and normally, but when she came back after a visit to the laundry room, the man was changed. He accused her of stealing drugs from him and hit her in the face.

The man then produced a knife with which he threatened her. He then went into the bedroom where the woman's five-year-old son was sleeping. The 26-year-old held the knife to the sleeping boy's neck and said he would cut his throat and then do the same with her.

Would come back

The man did not realize his threats but left the apartment. But before he left, he told the woman that "those who gossip are killing you" and that he would come back and cut their throats both if she called the police.

When the 26-year-old was arrested by police, he was deeply remorseful and admitted that he had become strange, aggressive, paranoid and suspicious that night. He also has few reminiscences of the evening.

Prison and damages

The man is now sentenced to one year and four months in prison for grossly unlawful threats, mistreatment, abuse of court case and attempted murder. He is also to pay more than twenty thousand SEK in damages to the woman.
