The two men, who are in their 20s, receive 11 and 9 years in prison respectively in the Court of Appeal. It is a clear increase compared to the Södertörn district court, which previously sentenced them for extremely serious assault rather than attempted murder and 6.5 and 3.5 years in prison, respectively.
The assault took place in December 2025 near Vinterviken's sports hall. According to the Court of Appeal, the act was planned and revenge for a previous assault, but the men took the wrong person. The Court of Appeal believes that regardless, it is clear that the purpose was to kill the 19-year-old. They describe the act as "planned, unprovoked and dangerous to life" and that it was only stopped thanks to witnesses coming forward.
The man who held the machete gets the longer sentence. The other gets a slightly shorter sentence because he provided information that was important to the investigation.
