After a homemade bomb was found in a parking lot in Malmö, the DNA fingerprints of three people were secured: two men who had been previously convicted in explosives investigations and a 15-year-old boy. The latter is now acquitted, as the district court doubts that older terrorists will allow such a young person to participate in the production.
The bomb was found by chance in a ventilation pipe in a garage in Gullviksborg in Malmö on December 12 last year.
It turned out to be a remote-controlled acute explosive charge in the form of a thermo-filled with 455 grams of explosive mass, and which could be fired at a distance of 200 meters.
The bomb was fully operational and could have caused death and destruction if it had detonated.
When the police analyzed the DNA findings of the explosive charge in their records, they immediately found two known names.
The men, aged 53 and 26, are already on the authority’s record because both have been convicted several times, including in explosive investigations.
The remote controlled acute explosive charge in the form of a thermos filled with 455 grams of explosive mass.
But the third person would remain unknown until police arrested a 15-year-old who was a suspect in a rape investigation. Her DNA turned out to match the fingerprints from the remote control bomb.
The district court does not believe you and believes that the 26 and the 53 have been found to be manufactured together. Orders placed by the 53-year-old for similar components who were in office serve as supporting evidence.
On the other hand, the co-accused boy, who has turned 16 during the trial, is acquitted. The district court believes that it is only his DNA that supports that he was involved.
The boy testified during the trial that his DNA may have ended up in the bomb after sucking on a work glove, which the 26-year-old must have used during construction.
The glove hypothesis is not addressed in the reasoning of the Malmö District Court. On the other hand, the court considers that it does not seem reasonable for the two men to allow a boy, whose parents they know, to become involved in a project as risky as the production of a powerful explosive device.
The 26-year-old is sentenced to two and a half years in prison and the 53 to two years. The verdict also includes several other crimes.
