It was in October 2005 that a 36-year-old woman was murdered while she was closing the Stuvkällaren fabric store in Gothenburg, where she worked. The police found DNA at the crime scene and two years ago they were able to match a woman.
But charges could never be brought for the murder. Because the woman was under 18 when the crime was committed and so much time had passed by the time her DNA was matched to the crime scene, the case had already become statute-barred.
In November of this year, the female suspect was charged with another crime: aggravated theft allegedly committed while she was working in home care in Partille municipality. Gold, jewelry and other valuables worth approximately SEK 450,000 were stolen from elderly women living in a sheltered housing facility in the municipality.
Now she is being convicted of five counts of aggravated theft, writes Göteborgs-Posten . The sentence is two years and six months in prison. The woman must also pay damages of just over 300,000 kronor.
