the Södertörn district court does not buy the man's explanation. The court believes that the 41-year-old was the last person who saw the young woman in the life, ”as far as known”, and considers that the prosecutor's investigation is ”robust enough that there is enough evidence to support that it is NN who is the perpetrator”.
