Closed trial of murder of the homeless – News

The trial in the Jönköping District Court will try to clarify what happened on the night of August 7, when a homeless man died in Smedbyparken, Huskvarna. The focus is on two teenagers, one 16 years old and the other 14 years old.

Prosecutor Linda Schön began reading the charge. She thinks that the 16 and 14-year-olds have together and in conscience killed the homeless by kicking and sheltering. The 16-year-old is being prosecuted for murder, or especially for mistreatment and serious assault until the death of another.

Deny murder

A will is written against the 14-year-old who, because of his age, can not be sentenced to any punishment. The two young men aged 16 and 14 deny having murdered the homeless man.

After the introduction, the court decided, at the request of the defense, that the negotiations would continue in camera. The public and the media were thus allowed to leave the courtroom.

The other lawyer's lawyer and I have made this claim because they are very young and that there is such a serious crime. It's then a classic procedure, says Martin Cullberg, a 14-year-old lawyer at TT.

"Great pressure"

In the will, 14-year-olds have the opportunity to give a picture of what happened. The entire process, even against the 16-year-old, runs in a slightly different way than an adult suspect. We take into account that there are children involved. And when you have goals for children, there are also judges who are specially trained for this kind of case,

Negotiations right, attention and what has happened make that boys are under pressure.

My client does not feel good at all. He is unhappy with what happened. He feels regret. He is under pressure from the great media call. But at the same time, he thinks it's good to have this matter examined in order to move on, says Martin Cullberg.

The 14-year-old admitted to killing the man, but denies that what he did could have caused his death.

This is a situation that was not considered particularly serious, which has since become worse and has become something completely different from what we thought from the beginning. But it is clear that you harassed this person earlier, says Martin Cullberg.

Anders Tolke, a 16-year-old lawyer, does not want to be interviewed by the media. But write in an SMS to TT:

My head denies both murder and especially serious abuse and detention to death. Otherwise, I have no comments.

Awakening

The first day of testing followed the planned plan. The trial was examined by the prosecutor, who then began his trial, that is to say the description of events. The trial is expected to last another five days of negotiations.

On August 8, the homeless man was found dead at Smedbypark. Police called the incident to death to death. But a week later, after the autopsy, the title was changed to murder. Suspicions came early to target both boys.

The assassination of the man has caused malice throughout the Huskvarna. Many had seen and recognized it because he was often sitting in front of the mall.
