The hearing started at 09:00.

Earlier this week, the prosecutor held his final plea and also in the Court of Appeal he demands that the expo boy friend be convicted in the same way as in the district court.

However, the expo boyfriend continues to refuse and on Thursday it is he and his lawyer's turn to present his defense speeches for the last time.

The suspect himself had asked to give a longer speech during the day.

It was rejected earlier this week by the chairman of the court, who, however, has given him permission to give a short speech.

There was a speech of between two and three minutes.

Completely denies the crime

"There is not a drop of blood on my hands, I loved Wilma more than life", was the first sentence.

Then the expo boyfriend went on to say that he believes there is no evidence that he is behind the murder.

He also said "who can do this, not me anyway".

In connection with those words, the man's voice choked.

He also expressed harsh criticism of the police investigation and said that it was mostly about guesswork.

"I am not a murderer, I am not a woman abuser, I am not an oppressor," he said.

She also criticized the suspect's lawyer.

- No alternative perpetrator has been investigated, this indictment does not stand on its own two feet, said Beatrice Rämsell, among other things.

The prosecutor stuck to his version

The prosecutor dismissed the words of both the suspect and the lawyer.

SVT Nyheter Väst's reporter on site describes the atmosphere as quite subdued.

Both the suspect and Wilma's relatives were noticeably affected by the situation.

The verdict falls on October 23.
