A man has been sentenced to prison for a seven-year rape, as police found his DNA after he was arrested in connection with a traffic offense.
In November 2013, a woman reported that an unknown man had raped her outdoors, in the south of Stockholm. The DNA of the alleged perpetrator could be obtained after the rape, but no results were found in the police record.
In October 2019, the police stopped a car in Tyresö and, as the driver, a man in his 40s, was suspected of driving while intoxicated, he was taken to the police station. When the man was surpassed, his DNA could match that of the 2013 rape.
The man has now been sentenced in the Södertörn District Court for rape, illegal driving and aggravated drunk driving, to two years in prison and deportation from Sweden for ten years.
“This example shows the importance of beating people in simple cases, to solve serious crimes in which we have not identified any perpetrators,” says Sofia Zakrisson, an investigator for the South Stockholm police area, in a press release.
