CondannatoSommario
A 19-year-old man had his hand severed with a machete in Gröndal, Stockholm, near the Vintervikens sports hall, in December 2025. The available reporting does not give the day of the attack. Södertörn district court originally convicted two men, both in their twenties, of exceptionally aggravated assault, sentencing them to six and a half and three and a half years' imprisonment. On 5 October 2026 the Svea Court of Appeal overturned that classification and convicted both of attempted murder, sentencing them to 11 and 9 years. The court found that the attack had been planned as revenge for an earlier assault but that the men had attacked the wrong person; regardless of that, it held, the purpose was clearly to kill him. The court described the act as planned, unprovoked and life-threatening, and said it was interrupted only because witnesses approached. The man who held the machete received the longer sentence; the other received a shorter one because he had given information important to the investigation.
