A mother and her daughter were seriously injured when a hand grenade was thrown into their bedroom in Tumba last April. The trial against six suspected men began today in Stockholm District Court.
On 28 April 2025 a hand grenade was thrown through the bedroom window of a terraced house in Tumba south of Stockholm. The mother and daughter were asleep when the explosion occurred. The mother had to have both legs amputated while the daughter suffered serious fractures. The grenade was meant for another person suspected of having a drug debt to the Foxtrot network.
On the first day of the trial in a secure courtroom the prosecutor played emergency calls from that night. A neighbour said: “A woman is badly injured. Her legs are gone.” The mother herself was present in the courtroom together with her counsel Anmol Dhaliwal.
A 34-year-old man is charged with throwing the grenade. He partially admits the act but claims through his lawyer that the purpose was to scare, not to injure. A 43-year-old man is suspected of arranging the perpetrator. In total six men are charged with involvement in the attack and a similar explosion in Skärholmen. The trial is expected to last eleven days and conclude no earlier than 5 June.
