The 20-year-old man's body was not found until late January; he had been lying dead in the forest for almost a month.

The two men who are now being sentenced, both in their mid-30s, were arrested after one of them confessed to police officers who had gained his trust during an undercover operation.

The sentence is life imprisonment, and one of them, who is not a Swedish citizen, has been deported. They will also have to pay compensation to the victim's relatives.
