Life sentence on appeal for instigator of Sätra and Tumba grenade attacks
On 8 October, Svea Court of Appeal sentenced a 31-year-old man to life for his role in grenade attacks on homes. The court found that he had Foxtrot links. A mother and daughter suffered very serious injuries in Tumba.
Case B 10408-26 concerns attacks in April 2025 in Sätra and Tumba, near Stockholm. In Sätra, two hand grenades were thrown at a home where people were sleeping. Nobody there suffered physical injuries. In the later Tumba attack, a grenade exploded in a bedroom occupied by a woman and her daughter. The attacker had targeted the wrong home.
The court convicted the 31-year-old of offences including instigating attempted murder and serious crimes involving explosions. It found that the crimes were organised and that he had links to the Foxtrot criminal network. SVT reported that he continued to deny wrongdoing and had appealed his earlier life sentence.
The Tumba grenade thrower received fourteen years and ten months in prison. The person who recruited and transported him and managed communication with the instigators received eleven years and ten months. Three other roles were also considered in the ruling. The court awarded compensation to the family, including approximately SEK 1.67 million to the most seriously injured woman.
