In August 2021, a 27-year-old man stopped his car at a traffic light in Helsingborg and two cars approached at high speed. According to witnesses, the two cars then blocked the 27-year-old and from a third car a masked driver fired six shots.
The 27-year-old was injured but survived.
Three people, two men and a woman, were charged at Helsingborg District Court with attempted murder and sentenced to ten, eleven and fourteen years in prison. One of them was singled out as the shooter and the others for helping him.
HD: They were wrongly convicted
But in the Court of Appeal, the alleged shooter was acquitted because there was not enough evidence. However, the sentence against the other two was upheld.
Now the case has been tried in the Supreme Court, which believes that the Court of Appeal ruled wrongly. Since the alleged shooter has been acquitted, the man and woman cannot be convicted of helping him shoot.
According to the Supreme Court, they were convicted of an act other than the one for which they were charged and the court therefore overturned the sentence.
Now the trial must be repeated in the Court of Appeal.
All three have denied any wrongdoing.
