A 15-year-old boy and a 55-year-old woman were brutally beaten to death with an iron rod on Saturday in Ljungsbro outside Linkoping. A 33-year-old man, Doudou Ahoka, has been arrested for double murder. He had previously been sentenced for violent crimes against Swedish women, having 15 convictions on record.
“Events of this nature are rarely seen,” Conny Dahl, head of operations for the investigation, said during a press conference on Saturday afternoon, SVT reports.
At 2 AM, police had received a call from a woman saying that a strange man had entered her house. The man locked himself in the basement with two boys who were in the house, reportedly tying them up. The woman managed to free one of the boys, during which time she got into a confrontation with the man, who then disappeared from the scene with the other boy.
Soon after, a woman and her boyfriend found the boy being held just 200 meters away from the place of the abduction. When they attempted to free the boy, the confrontation resulted in the death of the boy and the woman, says Dahl. They were both allegedly beaten to death with an iron pipe.
The woman’s boyfriend, 55, was injured and taken to hospital.
Doudou Ahoka, 33, has been arrested and charged with two counts of murder. He was caught after a police dog tracked him down. The man is known by the police, said Thomas Agnevik, spokesman for police in Linkoping, to Aftonbladet Web TV.
According to the courts, the 33-year-old suspected was convicted and sentenced in 2009 to a total of 2.5 years in prison for a series of offenses against a Swedish woman in Vellinge (a small town in the south of Sweden). Two years ago, he was sentenced and imprisoned for assault on his former girlfriend.
