In October, the woman applied for a restraining order against her ex.
Just over a month later, he is suspected of having stabbed her to death in the open street.
Now the 38-year-old man is sentenced to life imprisonment and deportation.
In the middle of the day on November 27 last year, 112 received a large number of calls from Galgamarken i Charlemagne.
Several people had witnessed how a man had seemingly mindlessly attacked and stabbed a woman.
– She is on the ground right now and he is over her, says a caller.
– She is completely lifeless, says another.
A witness ran forward and tried to stop the attack. Then the man pointed the knife at the witness.
When the ambulance arrived, the woman showed faint signs of life, but she had been stabbed multiple times and was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
When the police arrived, the knife-wielding perpetrator was still at the scene. It was the woman’s ex.
Now he is sentenced to life imprisonment and deportation.
Had a no contact order
The preliminary investigation shows that the now 38-year-old man and 50-year-old woman were a couple for about two years. During that time, the man is said to have been jealous and controlling – behavior that continued even after the relationship ended.
Just a few weeks before the murder, he had been banned from contacting her. She had then reported him for biting her, stalking her, calling her around the clock and not accepting that she left him.
She had told friends and relatives how bad she felt because of the man’s harassment.
“I think it will get even worse in the future,” she wrote in a text message a few weeks before she died.
In the verdict, it appears that the man is convicted of murder and for having violated the no-contact order. He is also convicted of unlawful threats after he pointed his knife at the witness who tried to stop the attack on the woman.
