Whenever a young girl is raped or otherwise molested by some asshole, I always ask: “Where are her brothers? Her cousins? Her uncles?”
Well, in Swedishland (of all places), the answer is: “Present”.
A Swedish girl of 16 has been accused of luring a taxi driver into a secluded forest and killing him in revenge for allegedly raping her when she was 14.
She and her four brothers, aged between 16 and 18, are on trial accused of murdering the 26-year-old man.
The four brothers deny all charges against them, but the girl admitted that she lured him to the secluded area, thinking he would be beaten up.
The girl allegedly texted the taxi driver, who has not been named, asking him to meet her with a bottle of vodka in a car park near the Hjälstaviken nature reserve in southeast Sweden in March.
After the pair met, the four brothers allegedly then strangled the man and hanged him with a noose made up of rope that they brought with them.
Sounds terrible, huh? Consider this, though:
Prosecutors in Sweden’s Uppsala District Court said that the main motive for the alleged murder was revenge, as the girl had made a report about the driver allegedly raping her in February last year which was not followed up on.
The brothers reportedly told several of their friends that they would be killing a rapist, and later told them that they had done so.
And the fuzz?
Andreas Pallinder, head of investigations at the Uppsala police, admitted that his force should’ve taken the rape report seriously.
No shit, Inspector Lestrade. If you had, the late asshole rapist would still be alive and in jail.
Instead, the wrong people will now most likely be the ones behind bars.
As we all know: when law enforcement doesn’t enforce the law, there’s always the possibility that the people will take over. As they did in this case.
She needs to lure Pallinder to the woods with a bottle.
what’s that phrase, “shoot, shovel, shut up” can anyone translate that into Swedish without mentioning the Swedish chef?
JQ
Do they have jury nullification in Sweden?
Sweden does not use juries in criminal cases.
Interesting. They did not mention the name of the deceased taxi driver. Makes me wonder if it was an Arabic sounding name.
Now WHY would you think that? Because I did, too.
Why? Because it’s Sweden and not the US. Here, I’d expect Shay’kwan or something like that.
Cops exist to protect criminals from citizens, not the other way around.
