A 26-year-old taxi driver from the Middle East was reported for raping a 14-year-old girl in Sweden – then he was found hanged in a nature reserve. Now the girl, her boyfriend and three of his brothers are suspected of the very painful murder, which according to the prosecutor had the character of “an execution,” Friatider reported.
The events began in February this year when the then 15-year-old girl reported that the taxi driver had raped her when she was 14.
On March 26, a taxi was found abandoned, covered in snow and with the taximeter running in a parking lot at the Hjälstaviken nature reserve in Enköping municipality north of Stockholm.
On April 1, the taxi driver was found – hanging from a tree 500 meters from the car.
The police quickly turned their attention to the now accused young people. All the young people deny the crime except for the girl, who admits that she lured the man to the place – but only so that he would be beaten.
According to the indictment, the girl lured the taxi driver to the scene of the murder on March 24 and kept him there until the four boys arrived.
The boys had previously bought rope, masking and clothes that were used as aids in the murder, which took place by strangulation and hanging.
According to the indictment, the approach involved a painful death for the taxi driver and the murder had, according to the prosecutor, “the character of an execution”.
The day before the murder, the police have found plans to take revenge on the taxi driver in a chat where the girl mentioned that the boyfriend’s brothers would meet the rapist.
“They are going to meet my rapist. THIHIHI”, the girl writes, among other things, in internal messages.
The night before the murder, the girl sent a message to the taxi driver asking him to get vodka and arranged to meet him at the desolate place.
According to the indictment, he was hanged the same day in the solitary nature reserve by the five young people.
After the murder, the girl took a picture of her boyfriend while he was celebrating with a flatbread roll. Later, she sent a message to an acquaintance that her rapist was dead.
All the defendants deny wrongdoing, but the evidence includes cell phone cell phone lines and DNA traces.
DNA from both the taxi driver and one of the brothers was found on a jacket.
The girl is now 16 years old, as is her boyfriend. Two of his brothers are 17 years old and one is 18 years old.
