The murder occurred on November 3 last year in Västmanland County. The man killed his wife outside their home in front of their two children by repeatedly stabbing her in the stomach and chest.
He was also convicted of aggravated assault on his son.
The man committed the murder at least partly to preserve his own, his family's or his line's honor. The convicted man and his wife were divorced, and the court found that the murder was committed because the man could not accept that his wife would leave him.
Corrected: An incorrect verdict was stated in a previous version.
