In May of this year, the police were called to a support group in Änggården in Gothenburg, where a 55-year-old woman stated that she had been abused by a man with whom she had been in a relationship.
The woman was taken to hospital by ambulance, but lost consciousness on the way there and died a week later. An autopsy found that she died from a brain compression.
"The entrapment was caused by a traumatic brain hemorrhage that the woman suffered as a result of blunt force trauma to the head. This provides strong support for the fact that it happened as the plaintiff initially stated to the police and ambulance personnel on site, before she lost consciousness," says District Attorney Maria Lundberg in a press release.
The man is now accused of murdering the woman by blunt force and by strangling her. He is also charged with three counts of unlawful threats allegedly made against her earlier this year. The man denies the crime.
