The young woman came to Sweden from Afghanistan when she was around 10 years old. After some time in Kosta, the family settled in Lessebo, in eastern Kronoberg. It was her, her parents and siblings.
When she is 21 years old, the woman reports her father for assault and honor suppression.
In a police interview from the fall of 2023, the woman stated that the family thinks that education is unimportant. She started working early, and the money she earns is taken by the father.
“He called her disgusting” – hear how the woman described her father to the police in the video above.
Would marry cousin
She also tells us that the family is planning for her to marry her cousin who is a few years older. But she refuses. She has made contact with a man in Germany whom she wants to marry.
In the summer of 2023, she has become increasingly afraid. She runs away from her family in Lessebo and settles in a secret place in northern Sweden – where she also reports her father to the police for honor suppression.
The father’s attitude to the allegations is not clear from the documents.
Details: The family found the hiding place
From what SVT can see, the police only do a formal questioning of the woman – a few months later, she no longer wants to participate in the investigation and it is closed.
There are reports that the family had found her hiding place.
The woman goes back to Lessebo – where in May 2024 she is found murdered near a wind shelter.
Three family members have been in custody since the murder. The prosecutor has told SVT that she will file charges today.
