The woman assaulted and killed her former colleague with a knife and a hammer blow in what she herself described as an “action of revenge”.
Now she is sentenced to 16 years in prison for murder.
Attunda District Court announced this on Friday.
It was on April 7 this year that the 44-year-old woman called 112 and breathlessly told them that she had stabbed her friend in Upplands-Bro outside Stockholm.
The friend, a former colleague of many years, was so badly injured by the assault that she died.
The origin of what the 44-year-old described during the emergency call and in questioning as an “action of revenge”, was that she suspected that the friend tried to take over her position at work. But that this was the case has been denied by people close to the women.
Several people stated during the course of the investigation that the victim must have felt worried about the 44-year-old’s actions before the attack.
In July, the woman was charged at the Attunda district court with murder, after she “deliberately took” the other woman’s life by hammering and stabbing her in the upper body, according to the prosecutor.
The woman has admitted serious assault and causing the death of another, but denied that she had the intention to kill.
