Trial of girl murder ends: "Will be a stamp"

The 15-year-old girl who has been charged with the murder of a 14-year-old girl in Landskrona is to remain in custody awaiting the verdict, which will be delivered on February 21. The 13-year-old murder suspect is too young to be punished, but the outcome is still important for her.

Even if she doesn't get a sentence, she still gets a stamp, so it affects how people view her and possibly also how her future becomes, says her legal assistant Maria Grosskopf.

For her, it plays a big role, she doesn't want the court to judge that she did something she didn't do, she says.

Both the 15-year-old and the 13-year-old deny murder, but they admit to aggravated assault.

It will be up to social services to decide what measures to take for the 13-year-old. For the 15-year-old, the prosecutor has requested four years of closed youth care.

The 14-year-old girl was found on the night of July 23, 2024, at an old goods yard in Landskrona, by a police patrol on a routine patrol. The police officers began resuscitation and later received assistance from ambulance personnel, but her life could not be saved. After an hour and a half, she was declared dead at the hospital.

Two teenage girls, 13 and 15 years old, are suspected of having murdered the 14-year-old. They deny murder, but admit to aggravated assault and have told about the incident during questioning. They are also suspected of aggravated robbery. In that part, the 15-year-old admits, while the 13-year-old denies.

The prosecutor claims that both have been equally involved in planning and executing the crimes, but only the 15-year-old is being prosecuted. In the 13-year-old's case, the court will take a stance on her role in the sequence of events, and then it's up to social services to decide what interventions are needed.

According to the preliminary investigation, the 14-year-old went to Landskrona believing she was going to a pajama party. The three girls had previously been placed at the same Sis-home.

According to the indictment, the 14-year-old was attacked and bound with silver tape. She was subjected to severe violence, including stab wounds and blows, which led to her death.

The older girl has undergone a forensic psychiatric examination that shows she did not commit the acts under the influence of a serious mental disorder.
