It has been almost three years since the tip about illegal hunting in Bergslagen landed with the police.

Since then, the investigation has taken many sharp turns - criminal suspicions have fallen away and changed.

The investigation has been questioned by the defense and it has often been about the so-called main witness: A woman who initially advised the police about the hunting crimes.

Suspected of stamping to murder her husband

After a year of working with the investigators, she dropped out and claimed that she had lied.

She later became a suspect in the tangle herself.


And with only days left until the trial, she is now also being investigated for stamping out the murder of her husband, in another investigation.


The woman's husband is one of the two men, apart from Karl Hedin, who is charged in the hunting crime plot.

- The only evidence that the prosecutor has regarding the poison allegations is her information.

Both my client and the woman's husband say that this has never happened.

She has taken back her information and then I can not understand how the prosecutor can think that this is enough evidence, says Sven Severin who is Karl Hedin's lawyer.

The hunting crime complex can be divided into two parts: the wolf hunt and the poison accusations.

The wolf hunt is about the serious hunting crime that Karl Hedin and his hunting colleague are suspected of.

According to the indictment, they must have hunted wolves in the forest in Virsbo on October 26, 2018.

Dead wolf with poison

The poison accusations are about preparation for a serious hunting crime that must have occurred between 1 January 2013 and 26 October 2018 in Norberg.


Karl Hedin and the woman's husband are said to have planned to kill wolves with the poison carbofuran.

- Her husband has told a largely consistent story with her.

Both agree that an hour or so after Hedin left their home, there was poison there, says chamber prosecutor Lars Magnusson.  

The prosecutor believes that the woman was aware of the alleged handling of poison.

And when she no longer wanted to tell about it, she herself became suspected of aiding and abetting in preparation for a serious hunting crime.

The trial is expected to last for six days, ending March 5 in Västmanland District Court in Västerås.
