Anne Ramberg, Secretary-General of the Swedish Bar Association, argues that Swedish prosecution needs to review the murder case of 11-year-old Daniel in Hovsjö dating back to 2001. Recent news revealed that a 12-year-old boy was accused of the crime despite the lack of technical evidence, which Ramberg states underscores severe lack of proper procedure. |
