It was on March 24 that a 20-year-old man was stabbed in the Motala City Park. A 17-year-old young man is now being convicted of the crime. The reason for the knife cutting is that the 17-year-old did not like his sister having a love relationship with the man at the age of 20. According to the district court's judgment, the crime was justified by honor.

The 17-year-old was charged with attempted murder, but is now being convicted of attempted murder. According to the district court, it is not possible to prove that he intended to kill the older man. According to the verdict, the 17-year-old had the opportunity to kill the man, but did not.

Only 16 years old

The man claimed that he acted in emergency defense, but is now sentenced despite trying to drop to closed youth care for 10 months. The penalty for attempted murder is usually in prison between 6 and 10 years. But the district court has taken into account that the man was only 16 years old when the crime was committed.

He must also pay damages to the vulnerable man. He also pleaded guilty to manslaughter after pulling in his sister's headgear. However, he is set free on that point.
