North Karelia On Monday, a homicide trial began in the district court, where a man born in 1952 was charged with murder.
The suspected victim of the murder, a man in his 70s, has been missing since the fall of 2022, when he was last seen alive. The remains of his body were found in the vicinity of his cabin in Kitee a year later, i.e. in the fall of 2023.
The homicide investigation was conducted by the Central Criminal Police.
According to the indictment that has just been read, the man killed the man from Imatra in an unknown manner when the men stayed at the victim’s summer cottage between September and October 2022.

Next, the man told an acquaintance that the victim “had fallen asleep”, but he did not tell the authorities or the victim’s relatives. When the police started investigating the man’s disappearance the following spring, the accused man said that he had returned to Imatra with the victim.
Only last fall, an outsider found a skull in the area, which turned out to be the skull of the victim. Later, the victim’s clothes, sandals, phone and tibia were also found on the ground. The bones found had traces left by animals.
The prosecutor demands at least nine years in prison for the man for murder. The man has been imprisoned since last December. He has denied the act to the police.
