Almost 13 years ago, Carolin Stenvall disappeared from Piteå at a rest area outside Gällivare when she was on her way to a job interview in Kiruna.
Six weeks later, her body was found on a forest road near the E10.
The murder case became, and still is, one of Norrbotten's most notorious murder cases of all time.
Killers have applied for a fixed-term sentence twice
In 2009, a 51-year-old man, a resident of Gällivare, was convicted of murder and life imprisonment.
The man appealed the verdict, but the Court of Appeal then upheld the district court's life sentence.
Ten years after the verdict, the man applied for a fixed-term sentence but was denied by Örebro District Court.
Now the man convicted of murder has once again applied for a fixed-term sentence.
Today, the district court announced that the sentence will be converted from life imprisonment to 24 years in prison.
