“The court: Shot and stab wounds were self-defence”
“A man, both stabbed and shot a 20-year-old man to be cleared by the Helsingborg district court because the court considers that he acted in self-defense.”
“In this case, the court finds that the 27-year-old man who has now been acquitted was surrounded by several people and that his companion was the victim of a serious attack, which he perceived as life-threatening. After the incident, he went voluntarily to the police and handed over the weapon.”
“The violent situation occurred at the Gustav Adolf square in Helsingborg, sweden on June 30 last year, where a conflict has arisen. The 20-year-old man armed himself, and sought together with some friends up the 27-year-old. Tjugoåringen is sentenced to three years in prison for aggravated vapenbrott and to have shot a companion to the 27-year-old in the leg.”
“Another three people will be freed. They were accused of having assaulted a 27-see her bold fashion companion – he was kicked and beaten as he lay on the ground. It was a messy situation, and the court did not believe that the evidence is sufficiently robust to establish that the accused participated in the beatings.”
