Five teenagers found guilty of killing Swedish taxi driver

Swedish court has given sentences to four teenage boys and a 15-year-old girl for killing a man she had accused of raping her.

A taxi driver was found dead in a forest in central Sweden in March.

The Uppsala court said that the man was convinced to go there with the promise of sex, because of the girl’s earlier claims.

He was overpowered and his body wasn’t found until a week later.

The oldest brother, who was 18 years old, was sentenced to life in prison.

Four other people, who were under 18 when the events happened, were given sentences of three to four years in a special jail for young people who break the law.

The three older brothers were said to have done something very bad and were punished for it. The girl and her boyfriend, who were 15 at the time of the murder, were not found to be at the place where it happened. They were still found guilty of helping with the murder.

Even though the five teenagers said they didn’t do it, the court found them guilty based on evidence the prosecutors presented.

The taxi driver was found dead, hanging from a tree. The court found that the people who killed him tried to make it look like he killed himself.

The prosecution showed messages between the teenagers as evidence of a plan to commit murder.

On 20 March, four days before the person went missing, the girl told a friend that her rapist’s brothers are going to meet him.

One brother said, “Let’s do it on Friday,” and the other brother said, “Okay. ”

After the murder, one of the brothers took the victim’s phone and stole money from his bank account.

The girl said she didn’t know the brothers were going to kill the man. She thought they were just going to hurt him.

Lars Holmgard, who leads the Uppsala District Court, decided that the brothers intended to kill the man from the time they bought the rope found at the scene.

“We think the plan was for the victim to be hanged from the rope. “
