It was a Saturday night in September that the event took place in the area around Gällivare-Malmberget.
A man in his 40s had been robbed of his cross motorcycle and conducted investigations and investigations into the theft on his own.
He became suspicious of a person and went there to possibly push for a confession.
By then, four more people had connected to the address.
Struck and kicked out teeth
The owner of the cross motorcycle is now one of four suspected of aggravated assault.
A hammer must have been one of the tools used.
However, he should not have been present when four people tied the person they suspected of motorcycle theft and loaded him on a flatbed for a pickup.
The journey went to a forest area where, according to the indictment, the beating must have continued.
Among other things, he is said to have had an eyebrow cracked and teeth knocked out after blows and kicks.
The victim: "Damn, now I'm dying"
According to the police interrogation, he thought they would kill him.
- That was when I came out in the woods, damn now I die here, the man has said.
When the beating in the forest did not make the man admit either, they drove him home.
The next day, they were forced to realize that he had been right all along.
The police had found the motorcycle at a completely different address.
