In the same vein as the district court, the Court of Appeal has above all found that the testimonies preclude that the incident took place in any other way than what the prosecutor has claimed.
The Court of Appeal believes that it has been proven that the 45-year-old has deprived the 19-year-old of his life.
No question of an emergency situation
The Court of Appeal also agrees with the district court on the issue that there was no question of an emergency situation.
- In the case, there have been no mitigating or aggravating circumstances.
The sentence has therefore been set at the normal sentence for murder, which is now 16 years in prison, says the court's chairman of the Court of Appeal Erik Sundström, in the press release.
They have also decided on no change in the damages that the district court has ruled.
