Man accused of Växjö murder released from custody
A 35-year-old man, who was in custody for murdering his mother in Växjö twelve years ago, is allowed to leave custody, reports P4 Kronoberg.
The verdict will be announced in two weeks, but Monday’s decision in Växjö district court is seen as an indication of an acquittal.
It was in March 2011 that a 58-year-old woman was found dead in the garage of the family’s villa in Växjö. She had been stabbed at least 25 times with an axe. Her son was already arrested the morning after the murder, but he was then released from custody in May of the same year.
On May 2 of this year, he was again detained and charges were brought, thanks, among other things, to new technical evidence and infiltration, where the suspect in a police cooperation provided several unique details about the murder in conversations.
The decision to release the man has sparked controversy and concern in the local community, with many questioning the evidence and the legal process. The news has also stirred up memories of the horrific murder, bringing renewed attention to the case.
The victim’s family has expressed disappointment and sadness at the possibility of an acquittal, hoping for justice and closure after so many years of waiting.
The final verdict will be eagerly awaited by the public and the families involved. The outcome of the case will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the community and the legal system.
