The charge that the parents were acquitted of concerns a residence in Eslöv where they previously lived. In the room that must have been the girl’s, who was later poisoned with vinegar, a window is nailed shut with a board and a gate is in front of the door.
The movie, which The Express was the first to report on, according to prosecutor Ingegerd Jigin, must show that the girl was kept locked in her room for periods until the age of three. During interrogation, the girl did not want to talk much about the old house, but said that she had been trapped in the room.
Girl in Eslöv poisoned by vinegar
The ethics case in the Court of Appeal – the parents want the judgment overturned
The ethics case is being appealed – by both prosecutors and lawyers
The parents deny
The father’s defender Anders Elvingsson writes in a text message to SVT Nyheter Skåne that the father “means that the gate could be opened and did not prevent the door from opening. The board that covered parts of the window was screwed down to prevent the girl from opening the window and falling out.”
The district court judged that it could not be shown beyond reasonable doubt that the girl had been trapped in the room and therefore chose to acquit the parents.

New judgment against the parents in the ethics case in Eslöv
June 19 is the last day for the Court of Appeal hearings and a new verdict against the parents will be handed down during the summer.
In the district court, the parents were sentenced to eight years in prison. They were convicted of poisoning the girl with vinegar and locking her in a laundry room. The parents have always denied the crimes and believe that the girl ingested the vinegar herself.
