On March 5, the trial ended in Västmanland District Court.
The hearing lasted a total of six days and was noticed by various groups gathered outside the district court to show their opinions on the wolf issue.
Just like the investigation, the trial was divided into two parts based on the two different crimes that the accused are suspected of.
Illegal wolf hunting
Karl Hedin and a younger man are charged with a serious hunting crime on March 26 when they are said to have hunted wolves in Virsbo.
Since wolves are considered a particularly protected game, the crime should be considered serious, according to the prosecutor, who claims that the men should be sentenced to at least six months in prison in this part.
Poison handling
Karl Hedin and an elderly man are also charged with attempted aggravated hunting crime as they are said to have handled poison in order to kill wolves.
The crime must have been committed at various addresses in Norberg between 1 January 2013 and 26 October 2018.
The older man's wife, who knew about the handling of poison and is said to have been involved in packaging the poison, is also charged with aiding and abetting the preparation for a serious hunting crime.
With regard to the accusations of poison, chamber prosecutor Lars Magnusson has not demanded any punishment.
The reason is that the court refused him to play the interrogations he wanted.
The interrogations with the accused woman that Magnusson believes are the basis for the accusations in the poison part.
This does not mean that that part of the indictment will be dropped or will not be included in the verdict.
SVT broadcasts directly from Västmanland District Court in Västerås just before 1 p.m.
