"We have pleaded for imprisonment and that it should not be less than eight years," writes the mother's lawyer Angelika Lesniewicz in an SMS to TT.

Furthermore, she writes that the district court concluded that an adult would have received a life sentence. "Considering the aggravating circumstances that the district court has listed, the sentence value is so high that closed youth care is excluded," Lesniewicz continues.

The time to appeal expired at midnight, Saturday night.

The 15-year-old girl was sentenced to two years and two months of closed youth care for murder by the district court. The 13-year-old girl, who was also declared guilty by Lund's district court, was not sentenced to any punishment since she had not turned 15 years old.

None of the two teenage girls convicted of murdering the 14-year-old girl in Landskrona have appealed the verdict. Nor has the prosecutor.

Both girls have admitted to planning and committing assault on the 14-year-old together, but they have denied murder, citing that they did not intend to kill.
