It was on February 22 that the police found a dead man in an apartment in Kortedala.

The now convicted 28-year-old and his ex-girlfriend lived in the same apartment building.

Neighbors had for some time complained of a bad smell in the stairwell and it turned out that the man had been dead since sometime between January 28-29.

He is said to have died from a stab wound to the heart.

The 28-year-old has previously abused the neighbor and is now being sentenced for murdering him.

Convicted of several crimes

The 28-year-old is also sentenced for trying to kill his ex-girlfriend that same weekend by stabbing her a number of times in several different places on the body.

The investigation revealed that the couple had broken up just days before the crime.

The man is also convicted of a number of other crimes, including violence against a civil servant and assault.

The man is sentenced to life imprisonment for the various crimes.
