On Monday June 22 at 01:07, SOS Alarm will receive a call from a campsite by Lake Fryken on the outskirts of Kil.
The police preliminary investigation report says the man is right:
– I took my dog’s life, I strangled her tonight, she says.
At some distance from the call, the alarm operator asks the man to check if his wife is breathing. He does so and declares:
– No, she’s dead. The bitch lies there and is dead. And God, how happy I am.
The operator tries to persuade the man to start CPR, but he doesn’t want to.
When the police arrive at the scene, they find the man very drunk outside a caravan. Inside the carriage, they find his wife dead.
“Very nice and eloquent”
Early in the evening, the couple had been visiting new friends at camp. On questioning with the police, they describe the environment as happy and cheerful, and the murder suspect and his wife as “very nice and talkative and no matter how handsome and happy.”
But as the man got more and more drunk, the happy faces disappeared.
– She got very angry with him when she saw that he could not stand up and then the atmosphere was not good, says a person in questioning.
When the couple returned to their caravan, it appears that a dispute broke out. A fight that ended with the man strangling his wife to death.
Prosecutor Rebecca Hällgren, who filed charges against the man on Monday, believes it is a murder.
But there is something that man denies.
Claim self defense
– It was a fight in which my client needed to defend himself. Asserts self defense. He had no intention of killing her and so it is not murder, Mats Hellman, the man’s lawyer, previously told GT.
During questioning by the police, the man claims that his wife attacked him when they returned to the caravan, and that he tried to calm her with his hand:
– But of course it was not my intention to take the man’s life. Never. That’s why I called and needed help, says the man.
Prosecutor Hällgren, for his part, claims that the crime scene investigation shows that the caravan was clean and tidy, with no signs of disturbances.
– The man has also been examined by a forensic doctor, and although he has some injuries, they are consistent with the fact that he would have fallen as a result of the poisoning and that other people have helped him up, Rebecca Hällgren said in connection with the accusation.
The secret police recording
The prosecutor’s evidence also includes an audio recording with the accused, secretly recorded by a police officer in connection with the arrest.
In the recording, the man asks if his wife is alive. “We can only hope so,” police said.
– Yes, you hope so, but not me, will be the man’s answer.
