It was on April 21 that a man in his 55s was reported missing by his relatives.
The next day he was found dead in a forest area by Dumme bog.
Around the same time, his car was found burnt out at Domsand outside Bankeryd.
A man in his 40s was later charged with suspicion of killing his boss.
According to the prosecutor, the triggering factor must have been a conflict over money.
During the trial, the man has admitted that he killed his boss.
At the closing day of the trial in Jönköping District Court, prosecutor Lisa Hedberg demanded that the man be sentenced to prison for at least 18 years for murder.
