It was in mid-November last year that, at the woman's urging, the man must have beaten and stabbed another couple of years-old woman who they also lived with and then tried to light a fire on the apartment with the help of diesel.

Refuses consensus and consultation

The man admits that it was he who tried to kill the victim, but refuses to have done so in agreement with his partner. The woman refuses to have participated in the violence on the victim and to have planned it with the man.

The court finds that the prosecutor's preliminary investigation clearly shows that the couple has acted in consensus and consultation with the intention of killing the woman. The victim was very close to death due to the extensive violence she was subjected to.

Penalty for both 

The court finds that the penalty value for a woman's crime in this context should be the maximum penalty of 14 years. But since she was 18 at the time of the crime, the sentence is reduced and then the prison sentence should stay for nine years. But since the court believes that the woman was the one who was the driving force in the event development and had the heaviest will and motive to kill the victim, they sentenced her to 10 years in prison.

Even for the man, the court considers that he should have the maximum sentence of 14 years, but since he was just under 21 at the time of the crime, he should have a sentence of 12 years imprisonment. But since the court believes he has been seduced by the woman's intrigue, he is sentenced to 11 years in prison.

The couple will pay a total compensation of SEK 165,000 to the victim.
