The incident occurred in Gävle in February last year when the blogger was up all night to edit a video for his Youtube channel.
When the sun began to rise he fell asleep, at the same time leaving the woman he had begun a relationship with the bed.
According to the prosecutor, the woman was involved in the attack by helping the man who was to attack the blogger into the apartment.
She denies the crime but is charged with aiding and abetting attempted murder.
- My next memory is when I wake up with a strong blow to the head.
It is the defendant who is sitting on me, the blogger said during the hearing in Attunda District Court.
"Please do not strike"
An intense battle began where the well-known blogger and regime critic, received several blows to the head.
He somehow managed to overpower the suspected Russian citizen by pressing his finger into his eye.
Prosecutor Per Lindqvist believes that the attack has its background in a "blood revenge" that the Chechen president declared against the blogger after he criticized the former leader of the republic, Achmat Kadyrov.
The blogger also believes that the man, whom he had never seen before, must have been commissioned by the Chechen leadership to kill him.
Client in Chechnya
The suspected Russian man has given a completely different version of the incident.
He denies attempted murder but admits aggravated assault and says he only dealt one blow with the hammer, but the intention was never to kill.
According to the man, he repeatedly said no to killing the blogger, but in the end did not dare to deny his client from Chechnya, mainly a named man who is in custody in his absence.
The plan was only to harm the blogger and then escape and tell him that he had failed, according to the man.
According to the man's lawyer, he has sought asylum in Sweden because he fears for his life.
