He was also convicted of aggravated assault after a violent attack at a party in Växjö municipality in October 2025, reports P4 Kronoberg.

The sentence is ten months in closed youth care, and he will also have to pay just over 320,000 SEK in damages to the two victims.

The prosecutor had also sought his deportation, but the district court notes that he has been a resident of Sweden his entire life. The court does not consider his deportation "inevitably necessary for reasons of public security."
