According to the district court, the speed of the car at the time of the collision was at least 30 kilometers per hour.
Satakunta On Friday, the district court sentenced a 27-year-old man to more than two years in prison in the Eura hit-and-run incident. The man received sentences for aggravated assault, aggravated endangering traffic safety and drunk driving. The charge of attempted murder was dismissed.
It was about the morning events at the end of July this year. According to the district court, the victim was sitting on the disabled ramp by the wall of the house when the man drove towards him.
The man’s blood alcohol content was at least 0.5 per thousand at the time of the incident. According to the prosecutor, the man’s intention was to kill the victim, or at least he should have considered the victim’s death as a probable result of his actions. The man denied the intent to kill, but admitted that he was guilty of assault.
District court considered that it was not reliably shown in the case that the man’s intention was to intentionally kill the victim.
“Taking into account the speed of the car driven by the defendant and the fact that the car has hit the owner in the legs, the district court considers that under these circumstances death was not a probable punishment,” the verdict says.
According to the district court, the speed of the car at the time of the collision was at least 30 kilometers per hour.
“If the defendant had intended to kill the person concerned, he would probably have accelerated the car to a higher speed, which would have been possible based on the photos taken from the scene.”
Victim suffered injuries to his legs from the collision. The district court considered that the physical injury was severe. Since the act was committed in a car and the victim was left alone in the morning after the act without calling for help, the district court considered that the act as a whole was gross as well.
According to the court, the motive for the collision was jealousy. The victim had spent time with the convicted man’s ex-girlfriend. According to the court, the convict’s intention was to harm the victim.
The district court sentenced Sami Raimo Kalevi Sarren27, to two years and four months in prison.
