Investigations into Film from Landskrona Murder Ongoing

The task of a video, which is said to show events in connection with the murder of a 14-year-old girl in Landskrona, is now part of the police investigation. I cannot say how many calls we have received about this film, more than that it is a lot, says the police investigator Kenth Pehrsson.

The past few days, several media outlets have written about a video that allegedly shows parts of the murder of the 14-year-old girl. The video is also said to be spreading on social media.

The police have previously confirmed that they have received several calls regarding the video, but still do not want to comment on the content.

The fact that a film is spreading is part of our investigation, says Pehrsson.

What it contains or shows is nothing I'm going to comment on.

Has Escalated

The spread of films showing suspected crimes on social media has escalated in recent years, according to criminal lawyer Gina Samaan.

We're seeing more and more often that violent depictions are spreading on social media, and when they do spread, it can happen quickly. Shares can be made to a very large number of people at the same time, she says.

Gina Samaan does not want to comment on the case in Landskrona specifically, but says that the purpose is often to further humiliate the victim.

It can also be a badge of honor where you prove what you've done to someone else. Sometimes it can also be that you spread it to an inner circle that in turn spreads it further.

Films that show suspected crimes can later be used in police investigations. Therefore, Gina Samaan believes that the purpose of filming is highly unlikely to be to inflict deadly violence.

I find it hard to believe that you decide in advance to murder someone and then spread evidence further. It can instead be about violence that escalates for various reasons or an action that takes place in the heat of the moment.

Can Be Punishable

According to criminal law expert Ann Lundgren, the spread of violent depictions can be punishable.

If there is a plaintiff alive when the film is spread, you can be convicted of unlawful invasion of privacy, but that assumes that the person is alive at the time of spreading, she says and continues:

If the person is dead when the film is spread, the crime of unlawful violent depiction can become relevant, as long as it is a moving film that shows gross violence. The difference is that it is a crime against the public and therefore does not require a plaintiff.
