It was on Good Friday night in April last year that a relative of a policeman in Karlskrona alerted that she had been attacked and stabbed by two men. Because the crime was linked to her husband's professional practice, it caused a massive police charge.

This later turned out to be inventive and the woman was charged with two cases of false alarms.

One concerns the erroneous information that someone broke down the policeman's car and moved outside the man's home, the other that she herself had been attacked by two unknown men and cut with a knife.

The woman admitted in interrogation that she herself had caused the damage to the car - and that she had cut herself to make it look like she had been assaulted.

The woman is now sentenced at Blekinge District Court for two cases of false alarms to 80 daily fines of SEK 200.
