- The Supreme Court sentences a man in Västerås to 18 years in prison for stabbing an acquaintance to death.
- It is the first HD verdict in a murder case since the law was tightened a year ago and will therefore be guiding.
- The district court sentenced the man to life imprisonment, the Court of Appeal reduced it to 18 years’ imprisonment and HD assesses that the circumstances in the case are not aggravating enough to justify life imprisonment.
