Three men who were previously acquitted of a murder at Nacksta in Sundsvall 2019 are now sentenced by the Court of Appeal to 18 years in prison for the crime.

One of the convicts is in prison for other crimes, but the other two are at large and are now wanted by the police.

– It would have been nice if they had been arrested immediately after the trial, but it took a few days and I’m not surprised they disappeared, prosecutor Marina Amonsson told Sundsvalls Tidning.

The prosecutor believes that the men are being helped to stay away.

– They hide with someone and the person or persons who hide them are also guilty of the crime, he tells ST.

It was in December 2019 that a man in his 30s was shot and killed in the Nacksta district. Three men, also in their 30s, were arrested on suspicion of murder. However, they were acquitted in the district court as, according to the verdict, there was no doubt that it was the three who shot the man. However, the men were convicted of other crimes.

The prosecutor relied on new evidence presented to the higher court and the lower Norrland appeals court concluded that the three men committed the murder by consensus.
