People were tortured in an apartment at Haga in Umeå - four are charged

The man was tied with cable ties and tape and had pieces of cloth placed over his face, according to the indictment. He was subjected to strangulation, kicks and punches, stabs to the hand and had boiling water poured over him.

He has also been injected with several different narcotic preparations. The victim suffered pain, shortness of breath, swelling, bruising, lacerations, a broken nose and burns.

"Will have but for life"

The man was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

- It seems to have left its mark based on what he has been through. There is a big risk that he will be punished for life, said the police's detective chief Thomas Palmgren to SVT earlier.

The man got rid of his phone and watch and the suspects also tried to get him to give them a gun.

The torture went on for twelve hours during the night until the morning.

Now three men and one woman are charged with the crimes. Among the evidence are videos and photos, according to the indictment.

"Very serious incident"

The prosecutor believes that the man was exposed to mortal danger and that the suspects showed extraordinary recklessness during the torture.

- This is a very serious crime. We invest considerable resources in investigating it. We take this incident very seriously, says Thomas Palmgren.
