Swedish police dead after suspected unprovoked attack in Denmark

It was there that the events were captured on mobile film, a film published by BT newspaper. The clip starts when the fight is already underway. Got punched in the neck Witnesses tell the newspaper that a conflict arose between two tables. After beer cans are thrown, the group stands up and shouts at each other. Christian Zedig can be seen standing passively next to him. The suspected perpetrator, in a hooded sweatshirt, then attacks from the side - and delivers a strong blow to Christian Zedig's neck. BT has chosen not to show what happens next, but writes that Christian Zedig falls to the ground and a person is then seen stepping on his back. Christian Zedig was rushed to hospital and later pronounced dead. "Unprovoked and tragic attack" The death of the Swedish policeman led to strong reactions in both Sweden and Denmark. Both countries' prime ministers spoke about the incident. A 30-year-old man is suspected of the crime. He turned himself in after Danish police issued a wanted list. He is in custody and denies any crime. Danish prosecutors have said the suspect risks eight to ten months in prison for what is equivalent to assault in Sweden, but that this may change. The Zedig family's attorney, Jakob Buch-Jepsen, says he is surprised by the prosecutor's statements about the length of the sentence. - I am somewhat surprised by the prosecutor's office's statements on July 29 in connection with the extension of the detention of the suspect in the case, not least the prosecutor's statements about the expected penalty value of eight to ten months in prison. The penalty scale for assault of the normal degree is three years. He also makes the comparison that Danish criminal law takes a much more serious view of whether the man ran over Christian Zedig, while driving drunk. - After the tightening of the law in recent years, it would have probably cost five to six years in prison, he says.
