Gothenburg. Amir, 12, was stabbed to death in the schoolyard.
The alleged 13-year-old perpetrator cannot be prosecuted, but now the prosecutor still wants the case to be tried by the district court through the so-called evidentiary statement.
“I think the suspect would be informed upon learning in court what happened,” prosecutor Mats Ihlbom said.
Just over a month ago, a 12-year-old boy was stabbed in the throat by a 13-year-old boy with a knife outside a school in the Kortedala district of Gothenburg.
Two days later, 12-year-old Amir died of his injuries at the hospital.
The prosecutor is now in the final phase of the preliminary investigation conducted under LUL, the law with special provisions on juvenile offenders.
– We are waiting for some technical analysis and then the preliminary investigation will be compiled. We are a couple of weeks away from being fully ready, prosecutor Mats Ihlbom tells Aftonbladet.
What is your opinion about the event?
– My title and opinion is that a murder has been committed. Since the suspect is under the age of 15, there is never any penalty or prosecution.

I want the evidence
On the other hand, a so-called evidentiary claim that can only be requested by the National Board of Social Services, Social Services or any of the next of kin can take the case to court for a decision on the debt issue, but without award a fine.
Do you have any indication that someone will request it?
– We are also investigating and talking to everyone involved.
– My opinion is that the case would benefit from a court case. We mainly talk to the social services that have that opportunity, says Ihlbom.
Why would the case work?
– These are some of the most serious crimes we have in Sweden and, if I have just finished the case, I affirm that a murder has been committed regardless of what the suspect thinks or what a court would have gone to. The court could conclude that it is an act other than murder. Even the suspect would be informed by the fact that in a court of law what happened.
Very few crimes in Sweden have led to a trial.
The most recent and most notable case was when a 16-year-old boy was accused of murdering a Romanian homeless man in Huskvarna, just outside Jönköping. At the same time, evidence against a 14-year-old boy was suspected of being involved in the murder.
Eliminate speculation.
Both were acquitted of murder in the Superior Court, but were convicted of serious abuse.
Now, the prosecutor says about the alleged murder of the 12-year-old boy.
– I think this matter is even more remarkable from different aspects. But there are others who can decide how I should do it, says Mats Ihlbom, who also thinks that a court case is important for several reasons:
– Otherwise, only the investigation will be completed in accordance with LUL, with the purpose achieved. Then I can never answer a single question about what happened or what occurred to me. Then you can wildly speculate about what really happened.
