The Swedish Court of Appeal has upheld the life sentences for Maykil Yokhanna, 31, and Hassan Mohammad, 32, for the murder of 12-year-old Adriana, who was caught in a gang crossfire while out with friends to buy hamburgers.
Benjamin Mahdi, 25, was acquitted of murder and attempted murder charges, instead sentenced to 9 years and 8 months in prison for preparation for murder among other charges.
The evidence against the men consisted of a 'dense web' of indirect, independent evidence including chats showing communication between the men before and after the crime, and a music video featuring the car used in the murder and one of the murder weapons.
