  • Mother was murdered with an ax – now the son is acquitted

    In 2011, a then 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murdering his mother with an ax in Växjö.

    The charges against him were dropped a few months later.

    In 2023, he was arrested again on suspicion of the same murder, when new evidence had emerged.

    However, he was acquitted in the district court earlier this year, which was appealed by prosecutors and a relative of the woman.

    Now he is also acquitted in the Court of Appeal.

    – The Court of Appeal makes the same assessment as the district court and considers that the investigation is not strong enough for it to be proven that the man killed the woman, says the court’s chairman, Court of Appeal Councilor Christer Ganelind.

    The son has denied the murder throughout the years.
