On April 29, a 26 year old Eritrean asylum seeker forced his way into a woman’s home in Falkirk, Sweden and sadistically raped her, leaving her for death in a pool of her own blood.  The man was initially sentenced to only a 2.5 year prison term and deportation back to Eritrea, but he recently won and appeal allowing him to stay in Sweden and to remain on welfare benefits.  Despite hearing the horrifying aspects of the rape, the judges allowed the rapist to stay in the country because they deemed the offense to be “not sufficiently serious.”

A man in Finland has been imprisoned for using “excessive self-defense” to fight off a home invasion

Finland House

Following is a summary of this Russia Today article: 

“A homeowner in Finland has been sentenced to four years in jail and a hefty fine after fighting off three intruders who attempted to rob his house.   The thieves, meanwhile, got lesser prison terms and are to be paid damages by their victim.”

In April a 35 year old man in the town of Hyvinkää was attacked in his home by three strangers who pushed into his house with baseball bats and a gun after he answered the door.   The man was able to grab a knife in the kitchen and fight off the intruders who he seriously injured.

In a shocking ruling, the court convicted the man of “excessive self-defense and attempted manslaughter,” reported by Helsinki News.  The man must serve four years in prison and pay his attackers €21,000 in damages.

The attackers were convicted of “felony home invasion and assault,” and all were only sentenced to one year “conditional sentences” which is similar to probation or house arrest in Finland where the offenders will serve their sentences out of jail.
