The attempted murder took place in February in connection with a conflict. The man must have left the apartment and the woman must then have opened the door and came out with a crowbar in his hand to get him out of the stairwell. Then he cut her with the knife four times in the trunk.
The man admits that he hit, but denies the crime. He thinks he acted in emergency defense when he thought it was an ax.
However, the district court does not consider that the man was in an emergency situation. He is now sentenced to ten years in prison and will pay SEK 320,000 in damages to the woman.
