The verdict of the Uppsala District Court establishes that the convict and the victim did not know each other before when they met in a restaurant in the center of Uppsala on the night of May 16 and began to argue. They went to settle in an alley, where one of them was stabbed.
Found bleeding
Later, a security guard came across the knife-cut man when he turned pale and bloody, stumbling out of the alley. The guard called an ambulance, which took the man to hospital. Two days later he died.
The defendant was arrested and detained shortly after the fact. He was charged in August with first degree murder, second hand with aggravated battery and causing the death of another.
The man has admitted to being stabbed, but claims it was an accident. He has said during the trial that he picked up a shiny object from the street and pushed the other to scare him, with no intention of hurting him. Then he was gone, but he hadn’t seen blood and didn’t feel like he would have done any harm in that situation.
Intentional crime
In hindsight, he says it could have gone so bad because the other man escaped and slipped, which may have exacerbated the injury.
The district court finds that the person now convicted intentionally deprived the other man of his life and will be convicted of murder. According to the statement of the forensic psychiatrist, he did not commit the act under the influence of a serious mental disorder and does not suffer from it.
Prosecutor Kristoffer Sahlin has demanded that the man be sentenced to between 10 and 14 years in prison and is now sentenced to 9.5 years in prison for murder. The district court has taken into account that he was 19 years old when the crime was committed.
He must also pay just over SEK 300,000 in damages to four people who are part of the victim’s close family circle.
