It was the suspected teenager who called the police himself and said he performed the deed at the bathing lake. The victim had been subjected to heavy force to the head and was driven by ambulance helicopter to hospital but his life could not be saved.
The 16-year-old boy is also charged with preparing for murder of another boy of school age. A forensic psychiatric examination shows that the boy suffers from a serious mental disorder. The trial is expected to continue until November 6.
