Key Points
  • Verdict due for two sisters accused of attempting to murder their father.

A verdict is expected in the trial of two sisters in their 60s accused of attempting to murder their father in Jönköping. The district court will announce its decision. The prosecutor argues the father's account is credible and that they should be convicted, despite a lack of technical evidence.

The sisters claim they were at a cemetery during the alleged assault and had not been at their father's home for months. A family conflict over a will, where a grandchild receives a larger share of the inheritance, underlies the case. The sisters were remanded in custody after the main hearing concluded, indicating a likely conviction.
