Life sentence after death of work colleague in Oskarshamn
A man in his late twenties has been sentenced to life imprisonment by Kalmar District Court after killing his work colleague in Oskarshamn. He was also convicted of stealing the deceased's property.
The deceased, a 25-year-old man, disappeared during the winter the previous year. Police launched a preliminary investigation and examined the missing man's finances. They discovered that funds had been transferred from the deceased's account to the defendant's account both before and after the death.
As investigators approached the man, he left Sweden for another country. During a house search at his residence, police found body parts belonging to the 25-year-old in a freezer. Blood traces were also found in the flat.
Later that year, the man returned to Sweden and was arrested immediately at the airport. He has claimed that another person was behind the death, something the court found no evidence to support.
The sentence includes life imprisonment and deportation. The man had substantial debts and a gambling addiction.
