The man first attacked the bonus daughter, but when the boyfriend intervened, he became the target instead. The boyfriend was stabbed near the heart and suffered life-threatening injuries.
According to the indictment, jealousy must be behind the attempted murder. The man was jealous after his ex-wife met a new one and then he attacked her daughter.
The district court judges that the deed was not an act of impulse but planned. Therefore, the penalty value is high and the man is sentenced to 15 years in prison. The 51-year-old must also pay damages. He is sentenced to pay SEK 240,000 to his bonus daughter and SEK 296,000 to the boyfriend.
