On Monday, the trial about the murder of 43-year-old Joullnar Gorgis ends.
During the final hearing, prosecutor Pernilla Törsleff demanded life imprisonment and deportation for the suspected 22-year-old man, writes Jönköpings-Posten.
According to the prosecutor, the perpetrator killed Joullnar by suffocation and then moved her body to the forest area where she was found.
Disappeared before birthday party
It was in March last year that a private person alerted the police after finding a body in a wooded area in Taberg outside Jönköping.
The death was quickly investigated as a murder and grave breach.
Joullnar Gorgis disappeared from Gothenburg the day before a planned birthday party on February 24 together with the children.
The next day she was reported missing by the family – before she was found dead in March.
The suspect was arrested on the night of March 22, 2023 after being wanted and arrested in his absence.
The man is a foreign citizen from the Middle East and has not been punished in Sweden. According to the Swedish Tax Agency’s information, he came here at the turn of the year 2023 and has a connection to a residence near the site of the find.
