Steinar Wangen, a 55-year-old Norwegian man, has been found guilty of the murder of Malin, a 47-year-old woman, in Trollhättan, Sweden, in the autumn of 2024. He has been sentenced to 15 years of preventative detention, with a minimum serving time of 10 years. This verdict was reported to Norwegian broadcaster NRK. Despite the conviction, Wangen maintains his innocence and has consistently denied any involvement in the crime. His legal representative, Gaute Nilsen, confirmed to Dagbladet that Wangen intends to appeal the court’s decision. The sentence is not yet final and is subject to the outcome of the appeal process. The case has drawn attention due to the cross-border nature of the crime and the defendant’s ongoing denial of guilt.
