the Woman, who came as unaccompanied minor refugee children to Sweden, was found half buried in a grove of trees in Hökarängen in southern Stockholm three years ago. She had been reported missing for two months. According to the prosecutor choked she is likely to death on 17 march of that year.

Her 41-year-old husband, was suspected just after the woman was found. His blood was found on a bag at the site and the man’s semen was in the woman and in her panties. The husband is an afghan national and have a residence permit in Sweden. The couple married in Iran before the woman came here. She came as unaccompanied 16-year-old, but her age has not been established.

the trial at Södertörn district court, which has been ongoing for several weeks. In its slutplädering claimed prosecutor Tomas Malmenby that the man should be sentenced to life in prison for murder. He lifted the several circumstances which he considers an aggravating circumstance, among other things, that the husband dödshotat his wife, he tried to control her, and that he shall have completed a sexual intercourse with the woman before she died – which Malmenby mean that she is likely not wanted. In Sweden the woman had the a same age boyfriend.

honor-related. As a basis, he mentioned that the accused in Afghanistan married his brother’s wife, another woman, after his brother died, and 41-year-old paid a dowry to get marry with the now deceased woman. Things that indicate that man lived in a culture of honor, ” he says. The defendants, according to a witness to have said that ”if a man’s wife disappears, drag the dishonor of a”.

– There are cultural and more value laden information differences, which leads to the accused considers man superior to the woman, said the prosecutor in the pläderingen.

jealousy or violence has been discussed. Unlike some of the previous hedersbrottsfall the killing does not seem to have been premeditated for a longer period of time. The defendants seem to have been open with the situation of related persons. A straffskärpning crime hedersmotiv has been discussed, but are not in the day.

” I do not exclude the possibility that other than the honour of the basis, even a certain amount of jealousy, said Malmenby.

Tomas Malmenby performed a number of arguments for the man’s debt. He took up forensic evidence in the form of dna evidence and spermafyndet, that the 41-year-old had strong motives and that he was after the woman disappeared had motvärnsskador. The man should also have told you about the murder of another person. Several witnesses have stated that the woman felt threatened before she died.

What speaks against the överfallsteorin is that the man called the woman nearly 200 times the day they met, but after she disappeared, he called her not at all, ” said Tomas Malmenby.

defense Attorney Frida Wallin considers that the prosecutor’s evidence only constitutes circumstantial evidence. She took up the autopsy does not show exactly what the woman died of, which leaves space for that it was not a murder. Something the prosecution opposes because it does not explain why she was found buried.

she was buried does not prove that she was killed by another person. Someone could have dug her into a panic, said Wallin of his slutplädering.

Frida Wallin took up is that the man after the murder traveled to Greece, and then go back to Sweden before he took to Iran. 41-year-old was arrested in Iran after a Interpolinsats.

” Had he been guilty, he had done well to stay away from Sweden, said Wallin.

The accused states that he had intercourse with the woman five days before she disappeared, which would explain the spermafyndet. Experts view the declaration as unlikely.
