In the murder that is upsetting a whole nation, the District Court in Lund today decided to detain Ahmad Akileh, who previously has been arrested for beating a 78 year old woman to death. He is no longer accused of murder, but of aggravated assault and aggravated manslaughter.

The 23-year-old palestinian is in other words now accused for the least serious offense that was possible in this case.

A 78-year old woman recently got killed over a parking spot.

This is a murder (the Parking Murder) that currently upsets every citizen in Sweden. Inger, 78 years of age, and her husband Sven wanted to access a parking spot outside a shopping mall in Landskrona. But a Mazda 323 was standing in their way. Sven tapped his horn and tried to talk to the driver of the Mazda.

But instead of moving, the driver started beating Sven. When Sven’s wife tried to come to her husband’s rescue, she was hit to the ground. With the injuries, she died two days later at a hospital.

Police has now arrested Ahmad Akileh, originally palestinian and 23 years old. Ahmad denies being at the scene, but is now awaiting a witness confrontation.

Ahmad’s family, that kept him hidden after the murder, are seeking help and protection since they claim they fear for their lifes.

And the press in Sweden seem to be mostly interested in discussing if political groups are trying to use the murder for their own purposes. Few are paying much attention to a husband that just lost his wife.

I can’t help thinking of David Jassy’s recent road rage. What is the matter with Swedes?
