Saturday 15 October: 21-year-old Tove disappears after a night out at a restaurant in central Vetlanda.
Monday 17 October: Two women, now 19 and 20 years old, are taken in for questioning and arrested. They are later detained on probable cause on suspicion of kidnapping.
Wednesday November 2: The police find Tove dead in a wooded area southeast of Vetlanda.
Friday March 17: Charges are brought against the two women for murder and grave breach of peace.
March 27: The trial in Eksjö District Court begins. The women admit to moving the body, but both deny murder. The 20-year-old admits that there was a fight and that she then took a stranglehold on Tove while the 19-year-old held Tove’s hands – but says that it was short-lived and that Tove did not die from it.
The younger woman denies any involvement. She states that she was asleep when Tove died, and that she did not dare to say no when the 20-year-old asked her to help move the body.
They both admit that they moved the body and the older one admits that she then tried to set it on fire.
Wednesday April 19: The women are sentenced to life in prison for murder and grave breach of privacy. The elderly woman is also sentenced to damage because she tried to start a fire at Tove’s father’s house. The sentence is later appealed by both women.
Tuesday, October 3: Clea Sangborn, who defends the 20-year-old, reports the judges in the Göta Court of Appeal are guilty. This is because the new prosecutor Thobias Vilhelmsson was previously employed at the Court of Appeal and worked closely with them. The Court of Appeal for Western Sweden will come to the conclusion in the afternoon that there is no risk of an accident.
Wednesday 4 October: The trial in Göta Court of Appeal begins. It then continues on October 10 and 12.
