  • Woman stole car and twin children – FBI investigates kidnapping

    Police and the FBI are hunting a 24-year-old woman suspected of kidnapping after stealing a car in Ohio on Monday, NBC News reports.

    Two twin children, five months old, were also in the car. They had been left in the car when their mother went into a pizzeria to buy food.

    The day after the crime, the police were able to find one of the twins near an airport about 11 miles from the pizzeria.

    The other twin has not yet been found.

    – We are working on this case non-stop, said police chief Elaine Bryant at a press conference on Wednesday.

  • Argument at a hospital kiosk

    During the day, the police in Sundsvall dealt with a fight at the hospital.

    Two women are said to have argued verbally with each other and a third person is said to have tried to intervene.

    Then one of the women abused the person.

    It is unclear what caused the altercation.

    No one had to seek medical care, the police say.

  • Troubled souls bend more in times of crisis

    The general trend is that crisis and poor economy make people drink less alcohol.

    But that is not the whole truth. Researchers see an opposite trend in some groups, writes TT.

    – This applies, among other things, to many of those who feel a general concern about the crisis. This means that they increase their consumption. Then we also see in previous research that those who already had a high alcohol consumption before the crisis largely increase their consumption further during the crisis, says Björn Trolldal, researcher at the Central Association for Alcohol and Narcotics Information (CAN).

    The long-term trend is that Swedish drinking continues to decrease. In total, consumption has decreased by 15 percent since 2004.

    Russian President Vladimir Putin has commented on the decision by the United States to send the Patriot air defense robot to Ukraine.

    – Our opponents claim that it is a defensive weapon. So be it, we have it in mind. And there will always be an antidote. Those who do this do it in vain. It just prolongs the conflict, that’s all, Putin said, according to the Russian state news agency Ria Novosti.

    Putin also took the opportunity to criticize Patriot.

    – It is a fairly old system. It doesn’t work like, say, our S-300.

    The announcement comes after Säpo sounded the alarm about the risk that students at the schools could be radicalized.

    “The shortcomings in the respective management circles are serious and of such a nature and extent that the supervisory authorities have been justified in revoking the foundations’ approvals as principals,” says councilor Eva Furberg in the press release.

    Imanskolan’s principal Khodor Ali calls the sentence unfair.

    “It is an unfair decision. The board has called an emergency meeting to review the decision and then decide on the next step,” he writes in a text message to SVT.

  • Finished with electricity support for Norrland?

    Frozen

    Hey!

    The government has not yet given any clear information about it. In an interview with The Express however, says Oscar Sjöstedt, economic policy spokesperson for SD, that an electricity subsidy should also be given to Norrland.

    – It must be done and we are working together with the government there, he tells the newspaper.

    However, when that will happen is unclear.

  • Read that they were convicted of the hairdresser’s murder (execution) in Gothenburg.

    Why aren’t both sentenced to life in prison?

    Is it because they were young when the crime happened?

    Is this the District Court’s judgment, and will it be appealed?

    Hasse Gustafsson

    Hey! The penalty value is assessed to be life imprisonment for the murder. However, the court has decided that the shooter was 18 when the murder was committed, which thus led to a lighter sentence.

    The other person is convicted of aiding and abetting.

    The penalty value for his act is considered lower than for the two shooters, but the assessment is still that it is equivalent to life imprisonment. There, too, age is taken into account, according to GP.

    It is the district court’s verdict and the newspaper writes that it will be appealed.
