Jackie Arklöv, who was convicted of the 1999 Malexander police killings, is again being denied his application to have his life sentence fixed, Örebro District Court announces.
The risk of recidivism is considered too high.
Arklöv previously applied for a fixed-term sentence, but even then his application was rejected.
The district court writes that Arklöv has committed several violations of the enforcement rules. However, the violations are not in themselves enough to speak against a life sentence conversion, but there is a risk of recidivism, according to the district court.
“The district court assesses that there is a concrete and significant risk that the man will commit a serious crime,” the Örebro district court writes in a press release.
“The protective factors that the man has developed do not sufficiently outweigh the risk factors that exist for recidivism of a type of serious crime, so there are no conditions to convert life imprisonment into a fixed sentence.”
Jackie Arklöv was sentenced on 7 June 2000 to life imprisonment by the Göta Court of Appeal for the murder of two police officers in Malexander, attempted murder, aggravated robbery in three cases and attempted aggravated robbery.
Violations of international law in Bosnia and Herzegovina
He was also convicted in December 2006 by the Stockholm District Court for violations of international law, a serious crime, for acts committed in 1993 when he participated in the armed conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The district court ordered that the previously sentenced life sentence also refer to these crimes.
Andreas Axelsson and Tony Olsson (now Tony Byström), who were also convicted of the murders of the two policemen in Malexander, had previously received their life sentences of up to 35 years in prison. Therefore, they may be released on parole in 2023, when they have served two-thirds of their sentence.
