Beaten, blackmailed and abducted • Soon after came the Tiktok mockery • Trio is sentenced
It was last summer that the kidnapping happened. A young guy was forced into a trunk by several other peers. He was picked up at a school in Nyköping municipality and driven into the forest. There he was beaten by the masked teenage boys, who all knew each other.
The young man had to withstand blows to the face and body from two of them – while the third filmed everything. During the humiliation, the victim of 20,000 kroner was demanded.
“Then he said, either you get an AK-47 and 20 salmon. If you don’t you get one, what the hell was that? 45 in the knee or what the hell was that? Yes, it’s some kind of weapon,” says the boy in questioning.
Sentenced to youth service
The day before Christmas Eve, a teenage trio was sentenced to youth service for, among other things, kidnapping and assault. In the interrogation, the kidnapped teenage boy talks about the fear out in the forest.
“He picked up the shirt like this and then it looked like he had, that he took from, the tab stuck out. And then, first I wanted to try to fight back, that is, defend myself. Then I saw it and then I thought, no I don’t want to, I’m not going to risk being shot,” he says.
Expensive brand in focus
The debt must have been about clothes from the popular and expensive brand Moncler. Something that the victim would pay back within a certain period of time. He took this demand seriously as the perpetrators threatened to harm him if he did not pay.
“Perhaps 25, between August 25 and 28, July it happened. They said I had until August 5 to pay or fix an AK-47,” says the boy in questioning.
The teenage trio took the victim’s mobile and when they left the forest he got it back – but then it was dead. Even on the way back, the boy was forced to ride in the trunk.
Recreated it all in a music video
After the incident, the humiliation was recreated in a music video on Tiktok. Something the victim himself discovered. Images from the music video show a person lying in a luggage compartment with his hands and legs taped and silver tape over his mouth.
“It was hard and he couldn’t bear to see the whole thing,” the verdict says.
The judgment also states that the victim had difficulty understanding how his acquaintances could do this to him and that after this he has difficulty blaming anyone.
The abused and threatened victim carried out a similar act against another young man, just two months before the incident in July. For that he is convicted of illegal coercion.
