Criminal suspicions | Prosecutor: The man first tried to poison his female friend and finally suffocated her

Prosecutor demands a life sentence for a man from Oulu who, according to the indictment, killed his girlfriend using brutal violence. The woman’s cause of death was ultimately suffocation. The proceedings of the case began on Friday in the Oulu district court.

According to the indictment, the man first threw strongly alkaline drain cleaner twice on the woman’s face and then forced a general cleaner into her mouth. According to the indictment, the violence continued in such a way that the man sprayed water on the woman in a torture-like manner for several hours.

Later, after sleeping for some time, according to the indictment, the man killed the woman by suffocating her. According to the prosecutor, he dragged the woman into the bathroom, stuffed a wad of toilet paper into her mouth and began to strangle her while sitting on top of her.

After the woman strongly resisted, the man put a plastic bucket on her head and pressed the bucket on her neck until she became unconscious. According to the indictment, the woman’s cause of death was suffocation caused by strangulation and inhaling water together.

Prosecutor according to the report, the man had suspected his girlfriend of stealing his property and of intending to poison her.

According to the prosecutor, the murder was particularly brutal and cruel due to, among other things, the torture-like method of doing it and the long duration of the violence.

The accused man denies that he is guilty of murder, but admits that he is guilty of manslaughter. In the written answer submitted to the court, the accused says that it was not his intention to kill his female friend.

The events take place in November of last year.
