After a two-day hearing in Luleå district court, the 45-year-old father who was accused of murdering his 8-year-old son, Tintin, was sentenced to life in prison.
– It is difficult to imagine a more serious act than when a parent takes the life of their own child, says councilor Niklas Lind.
The district court did not consider that there are grounds for a forensic psychiatric investigation.
Long and infected dispute
Tintin was found dead at his father’s after a visit on January 8. The visit was granted after a long and infected custody dispute between the parents. During the trial, the prosecutor maintained that the crime was planned by the father.
The verdict was handed down immediately after the main hearing, which is very unusual. Both the prosecutor and the mother had tears in their eyes, which you can hear more about in the clip above.
