Sweden: Son also charged in motherÂ’s fatal stabbing
2008-07-04
A 38-year-old refugee from Iraq has been charged with stabbing his ex-wife to death on the grounds of a school in Setesdal Wednesday. His teenage son was charged as well on Thursday.

The victim, age 31, had feared her ex-husband and was equipped with a portable alarm to alert police if she felt threatened.

Her alarm went off Wednesday afternoon, but police didn't arrive at the scene soon enough. In front of several witnesses, including children, and in broad daylight, the 38-year-old defendant stabbed her to death on the grounds of the Bygland School.

On Thursday, police also charged her 16-year-old son as being an accessory to the crime.

"We believe he played a role in the murder," prosecutor Folke Ã…mlid of the Agder Police District told Aftenposten.no. He declined to elaborate.

The victim and her ex-husband came to Norway from Iraq around seven years ago. They had four children, two boys and two girls, and the boys lived with their father.

#2  Once again we see that a pager and cops arriving after the fact are no substitute for a .45 cal.
This woman should have sent this loser on his path to 72 raisins. Also, I'll bet that punk had eyes the size of saucers when the 71 yr. old Marine put the barrel between his eyes and commenced to blow his head off.

#1  the problem is they gave her an alarm... should have given her means to protect herself instead of making her rely on someone who would be too late
