The murder of Wilma Andersson, 17, tore a wound of pain and anger in Uddevalla. The disappearance of the girl involved thousands of volunteers who, during desolate winter days, searched for her remains in dark forests, ditches, streams and bays in and around the city.

Tishko Ahmed, the young man who was soon arrested on suspicion of murder, was sentenced in late July to life in prison for that particular crime. But Wilma Andersson’s 23-year-old ex-boyfriend, both during police questioning and during the hearing in the Uddevalla District Court, denied any involvement in the girl’s death. Together with her defense lawyer Beatrice Rämsell, she has appealed the judgment of the district court, which will now be tried in the Court of Appeal.

One of the girl’s body parts. it was found by police in a suitcase in a closet in Tishko Ahmed’s apartment. The part of the body was wrapped in aluminum foil with which police technicians have obtained the fingerprints of the 23-year-old. Traces of his blood have been found on kitchen knives in the apartment.
However, Wilma Andersson’s body has not been found, and on appeal, Tishko Ahmed claims through her lawyer that the investigation has not shown how she died, and that she was actually murdered, or that he was the one who murdered her in that case.

“In our opinion, the murder charge should already be dismissed here because we do not really know why or how the plaintiffs died. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that he died from causes other than intentional homicide. Possible alternative courses of events must be tried by the court, regardless of whether Tishko opposes them or not, “the appeal states.
Beatrice Rämsell notes in the letter that the police did not find her body part in Tishko Ahmed’s apartment until 14 days after Wilma Andersson’s disappearance, despite the fact that relatives and the police had already searched the house. She also writes that if the man convicted of murder moved over her body, it is strange that no neighbor or passerby observed her:
“One has to wonder if it is practically possible to move a body that lacks at least one part of the body and that should reasonably leak some body fluids without leaving the slightest trace and without anyone making any observations about it.”
Hundreds of Uddevalla residents flocked to mourn and show their respect for the murdered 17-year-old Wilma Andersson.

She also wants to affirm that the information of several of the witnesses heard in the district court should be questioned, since there is a possibility that they have taken note of the statements of the others through reports in the media.
Neither the prosecutor nor the defense attorney have presented new evidence to the Court of Appeal in the case and therefore the task of the court will primarily be to re-evaluate the evidence on which the district court’s conviction is based.
The hearing begins today Wednesday and ends next month. Only four days are dedicated to the hearing in the courtroom, the remaining time that the Court of Appeal will dedicate to listening to the recordings of the trial in Uddevalla.
