That the relative of the robbery victim - who in the district court was sentenced to five years in prison for assisting in serious robbery - would receive a milder sentence in the court of justice was expected. In connection with the conclusion of the negotiations in early October, the man was released, a clear indication that the High Court made a different assessment.

The man is now sentenced by the High Court for aiding theft to day fines and the court then takes into account the long detention period.

The relative was not himself in Kallinge when the 84-year-old man was beaten and robbed, but he had advised two friends that the older man had cash at home. He also lent his car to friends and gave the address.

Left on the floor

The elderly man was beaten for a long time before being left on the floor in the cold winter night. The two men left the scene with the robbery - a few bottles of liquor, the man's wallet and the man's car.

For the two men, 24 and 39 years old, who robbed and abused the 84-year-old, the district court's verdict stands: prison for six years.
