It was on Wednesday that the man who is convicted of the attempted murder of his wife that he threw out over a balcony in Södertälje, it reports the Turkish news site Son Dakika. 

- It feels like a large weight falling off the shoulders.

The family and my sister cried with joy.

Many in the family now hear from them with joy and tears, says Moses Isik, brother of the woman who was thrown out of the balcony, to SVT Nyheter Södertälje.

It was in 2015 that the so-called balcony man was sentenced to 14 years in prison in the Supreme Court for throwing his wife out of the balcony of their apartment in Södertälje.

He has since remained hidden in Turkey, where he also received citizenship.

Now gripen

Citizenship has meant that Turkey did not extradite him to Sweden, but a year ago the sentence was transferred to Turkey.

The Swedish prison service has long reminded Turkish authorities that the sentence needed to be carried out.

But now comes the news that he has been arrested.

Which LT.se was the first to report on in Sweden.
