Adil Mutlag, 53, is sentenced to life in prison after honor killing his wife in front of their children.
The 29-year-old woman was murdered on October 6 with about 30 stab wounds in the family’s home in Motala.
The couple’s two sons, who were then five and eight years old respectively, witnessed the brutal act.
“The last thing that (the 29-year-old) experienced in life was that the children were forced to see how their father stabbed their mother to death. The children were forced to witness their mother’s death struggle,” writes the district court.
The woman had previously told that she wanted to divorce Adil Mutlag, something that the 53-year-old Iraqi could not accept.
The Linköping district court finds that an honor-related motive was behind the deed.
According to the verdict, Mutlag considered that the wife, by wanting a divorce, “had dishonored his and the family’s honor, and the murder was “intended partly to prevent further damage to the honour, partly to repair or restore the injured honour”.
Adil Mutlag has been granted Swedish citizenship and thus cannot be deported under current legislation.
