Two weeks have passed since I left Skövde and the cramped courtroom where Lisa Holm's relatives during five long painful days heard everything terrible that she went through the last hour before her 17-year life ended.

Today came the verdict.

Life sentence for 35-year-old Nerijus Bilevicius.

The district court finds that Lisa Holm must have felt terrible anxiety and fought for her life.

Despite the defense's many attempts to find an alternative perpetrator, it can be ruled out, according to the district court.

Mainly because of the extensive technical evidence that shows his DNA on murder tools as well as on Lisa's clothes, witness statements that have seen Bilevicius in the area and that he does not have a working alibi.

Think of the family every day

While waiting for this verdict during these two weeks, not a single day has passed without me thinking about Lisa Holm and her family.

On her father who was leaning forward in the courtroom with his face in his hands while the prosecutor presented his theory of what his daughter had been subjected to.

While his daughter's killer sat motionless against him with his head bowed and his hands in his lap.

On her mother who bravely wiped silent tears as she took her eldest daughter's hand in hers.

On Lisa Holm's friends who nervously queued for the trial during the autumn holidays to find out what happened to their friend.

Now we know a lot.

Lisa Holm was attacked outside her job, the café in Blomberg, dragged into a barn opposite, hung in a pipe in an adjoining room, partially undressed and then cut down to be hidden in a small wardrobe in a work shed on a nearby farm .

The killer refuses to tell

I have written this sequence of events so many times now.

But every time I do, I can hardly believe it.

In any case, I can never understand it.

Like I said, now we know a lot.

But we will never find out everything.

Only Lisa Holm's killer knows who refuses to tell.

Today's district court ruling is not the end of this incomprehensible.

The now convicted Nerijus Bilevicius will in all probability appeal the verdict to the Court of Appeal, his lawyer has made this clear several times in the interviews she has asked for extra money from the district court to appear in.

Lisa Holm's family may thus have to go through another trial.

The media will once again travel to court from all over Sweden.

To help people try to understand.

To get some right side of this evil.

But it is hard.

As the president of the court said after today after the verdict.

"Nothing is easy when no one has acknowledged."
