“There are elements of torture, where, among other things, a tooth has been pulled out of the plaintiff and he has been strangled to the point of unconsciousness,” says the prosecutor. Malin Löfgren to Sundsvall’s newspaper.
According to the prosecutor, the assault, which took place in a home environment, was filmed.
“I have never seen anything similar to what the plaintiffs were subjected to in these films and find it difficult to understand that you can treat another person like that,” says Malin Löfgren.
The victim suffered serious injuries
The victim, a man in his 30s, suffered “extensive and serious injuries,” according to police. He was initially hospitalized, but discharged himself.
The assault, which occurred at the end of January, was discovered in early February when a 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of another assault.
In addition to that man, another man in his 25s and a woman in his 30s are in custody.
The prosecutor says she expects to file charges in the case this week.
