The event took place on the eve of the summer solstice this year in an allotment area in Varberg. The victim died from his injuries in mid-July, a month after the incident.
He had been cared for at Sahlgrenska in Gothenburg since the summer solstice, where he was transferred after his condition rapidly deteriorated.
Reclassified
Later, the case was reclassified as murder, having previously been investigated as an attempted murder.
Police previously suspected that it is a jealousy drama.
– We received an alarm at 11:51 pm for a fight where a man was hit on the head with an ax. From what I understand, it is a form of jealousy drama, previously said duty officer Göran Carlbom in the West Police Region.
According to the police, the suspect has had a previous relationship with the victim’s girlfriend.
The man is also accused of assaulting the now deceased, which took place a few days before the alleged murder.
He is also charged with misdemeanor drug-related crimes.
Denies the crime
The author denies the crime, says through his lawyer Anders Roy.
– In my opinion, there is no intention behind that could justify a murder charge. My client claims that he has been attacked and that he acted in self-defense, Anders Roy tells Hallands Nyheter.
