On August 14 this year, police responded to reports of a fight outside in Kiruna. During the fight, the 27-year-old repeatedly attacked the victim, a 31-year-old man, with a double-edged dagger, according to the indictment.

The 31-year-old man died at the scene, and another person, who allegedly tried to stop the fight, was injured.

“What has emerged from the investigation suggests that it was a fight in a drug-addicted environment that escalated,” prosecutor Kristin Andersson said in a press release.
