In the clip above, reporter Ulrica Abrahamsson talks about one of the most remarkable new data from the day.
The 22-year-old charged with murder, who denies the crime, had to answer questions during Tuesday’s hearing in the district court about what happened when Joullnar came to Taberg on February 24 last year.
Deputy chief prosecutor Pernilla Törsleff stated several times during the negotiations that he provided completely new information, despite having sat in 22 interrogations during the investigation period.
The accused man said that he has asked for more police interviews to provide new information.
– It is a complete lie, says the prosecutor.
Attacked and tortured
The 22-year-old stated in the first interrogations that he had been attacked, threatened, tied and tortured by armed men and that Joullnar had never been there.
– My view is that this is exactly what you are exposing Joullnar to, says the prosecutor.
– That’s not true, replies the 22-year-old.
In later interrogations, he said that Joullnar had been at his house, but left together with three other men and a woman. He also maintains that in court.
During the afternoon, the prosecutor asked about the man’s different versions.
– I am telling my version here in court. It is better we indulge in what I told you before.
DNA evidence on piece of tape
The 22-year-old also brought new information about the evidence – including a piece of tape with both Joullnar’s and the 22-year-old’s DNA – that was found in a fire barrel of a neighbor, who in turn found it in the woods.
He believed that Joullnar tore down the piece of tape that was sitting on the wall of the house, so that it ended up on the floor and that she then brushed her hair nearby, which would explain the hairs stuck to the tape. The prosecutor believes that the tape ties the 22-year-old to the crime.
The trial continues until the beginning of next week.
