In a call to SOS Alarm in October 2020, a woman tells that her husband has fallen in the bathroom and needs help.
He is taken to hospital and cared for there for two weeks before he dies.
During a police interrogation with the 89-year-old man, another picture emerges.
According to the man, his wife must have been upset when he tried to empty his catheter on his own and pushed him.
He fell to the floor and the woman, who is also in her 80s, started beating him.
Unable to get up, the man lay on the bathroom floor for 16 hours where his wife returned on several occasions to continue the beating.
Only then did she call 112.
The couple had been married for 45 years at the time and the man has said in interrogation that he can not understand how such a nice and kind person can do such a thing and he speculated whether his wife was affected by a collapse or blackout.
Denies crime
During the main hearing, the woman has said that she does not remember anything about the incident, and denies that she abused or caused her husband's death.
The husband's recorded interrogation in combination with other evidence makes the district court see his information as credible.
The woman is sentenced to two years in prison for aggravated assault and causing the death of another.
The abuse is seen as serious because it has been prolonged and with serious violence against an elderly person.
The fact that the woman has waited a long time to contact 112 means that the district court considers it to be the cause of another's death.
