A man threatened to cut the throat of a child at a playground - sentenced for unlawful threats

It was in August 2021 that some boys carried away their neighbor's cat.

When the neighbor realized that the cat was gone, he had encountered the children in a playground and threatened them.

Among other things, he said he would rip the children's heads off and cut their throats.

In the indictment, it appears that the neighbor was so rough in his language that it meant a serious violation of the children's privacy.

One of the children was so cut that he was shaking and the others had stomachaches and did not dare to go out and play afterwards.

The penalty for the man is a daily fine of SEK 16,000 and damages of SEK 5,000 to each child.
