The child star is charged with aggravated assault with elements similar to torture, as part of a kidnapping and extortion scandal.
According to the indictment, a 15-year-old boy had his finger cut off, stabbed and beaten with a hammer.
– So I took benzo, so I may have hit him, I don’t know. I don’t remember, I would never cut off anyone’s finger in any case, it’s too harsh, says the teenage girl who is the protagonist of a police interrogation.
A teenage child star with a multi-year career has been charged with extremely serious assault and robbery as part of an affair that includes kidnapping and aggravated extortion.
It is said that in mid-August, a 27-year-old, along with an acquaintance of the same age and a 15-year-old boy, were detained and beaten by one person. Through threats of further violence, the abducted person is forced to transfer around 700,000 SEK to the 27-year-old’s account, money that the person received in an insurance case.
The next day, the child star enters the scene.

The boy stars in the mugshots. The necklace was seized by the police on suspicion that it could come from the robbery that is accused.
He, along with the 27-year-old, the 15-year-old and another teenager, allegedly abused and robbed the third person who was involved in the kidnapping and, among other things, found money and various gold jewelry.
Everything remains unknown to the police until the 15-year-old enters the hospital two weeks later, severely beaten and with a severed finger.
The boy is described as “dumb and complacent” at the first police hearing about how he was mutilated. But with the help of photos on the boy’s mobile phone, the police can soon identify two suspects: the child star and the 27-year-old.
The 27-year-old has admitted to the assault, kidnapping and extortion, but says he doesn’t remember anything about the robbery. The teen child star denies the crime and has responded “without comment” to many of the police questions.

Used fake motorcycle vest
According to the preliminary investigation, the 27-year-old must have worn a counterfeit motorcycle vest and led the other defendants to believe that he was a member of a subgroup of the criminal motorcycle gang Hells Angels. All three teens, including the child star, appear to have thought that they themselves had become part of the criminal network, too, through their association with the 27-year-old.
– Because we in this situation thought that we were part of Hells Angels, it was so that they would give me a punishment for them, because I said wrong and lied, says the 15-year-old girl in police questioning about what preceded the brutal beating. .

Fake motorcycle vest. The 27-year-old claimed to be a member of a Hells Angel subgroup, but according to the police expert, the vest is not genuine.
The star child claims in police questioning that he has been strongly influenced by various types of drugs, including the sedative benzodiazepines, and therefore has no recollection of the abuse.
– The first night I was there, then I took so much benzo that it was a short circuit. It was a good night, I too had smoked a nest so I don’t remember much, he says.

The shoes of the child star. The arrow marks the place where the police found traces of blood that, after DNA analysis, turned out to be from the 15-year-old victim of the aggravated assault.
According to the child star, he was knocked out by drugs and therefore denies being involved in the boy’s abuse.
– It was completely covered. I haven’t done any of that. It was completely covered. It would be strange if I remember now when I didn’t remember before.
The prosecutor’s evidence includes photos of the 15-year-old boy’s mobile phone taken that afternoon and night. The images show both the child star and the 27-year-old and also how the child is getting worse and worse. Police have also been able to secure traces of blood on the child star’s shoes, which according to a DNA test come from the abused 15-year-old.
In one of the police interrogations, the child star admits that he may have participated in the assault.
– So I took benzo, so I may have hit him, I don’t know. I don’t remember, I would never cut off anyone’s finger, it’s too rough.

Adorned with theft? In the mobile phones of the accused, the police found photographs of the star child where he wears jewelry that is suspected of coming from the robbery of which he is accused.
Following the aggravated assault, the child star and the boy must have remained in the 27-year-old’s apartment for more than a day, before the boy finally left the place. Another day later, his mother takes him to the hospital.
The lawyer: “Denies the crime”
The prosecutor describes what the child has been subjected to as “something akin to torture” and writes in the indictment:
“The crime must be evaluated as extremely serious because the act resulted in a permanent serious bodily injury and when the defendants showed extreme cruelty and rudeness. This is because the act has been prolonged, it has been committed by several perpetrators against a minor plaintiff, including the use of knives and hammers or other stab wounds and included the removal of a body part and other acts of violence with elements similar to torture. “
Aftonbladet has contacted the child star’s lawyer who greets him via text message:
“My director denies any wrongdoing. Due to the sensitive nature of the case and out of respect for all parties involved, I refrain from commenting further on the case in the current situation.”
Aftonbladet has also contacted the 27-year-old’s attorney who does not want to comment on the case.
The trial, which is expected to last four days, begins next week.
