In a high-profile case that has captivated the nation, 19-year-old Nobel Girmay Yohannes has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a 47-year-old man in Tullinge, just south of Stockholm.

The victim, who was not involved in criminal activities, was the father of a gang-affiliated individual.

The murder, deemed a revenge act linked to previous violent incidents, was meticulously planned, with Yohannes offered a substantial sum to carry out the hit.

Alongside Yohannes, three other individuals were convicted for their roles in the crime, receiving various prison sentences for offenses ranging from aiding a criminal to narcotics and weapons charges.
