Police discovered the body of a 57-year-old Norwegian man’s deceased partner in a freezer that he had maintained while continuing to get her pension.
A Swedish court sentenced him to three and a half years in prison.
Even after she died of cancer in 2018, the man informed his friends and family that his 60-year-old partner was still alive and well, According to an English-language Norwegian news website.
“They didn’t want to be buried at a public cemetery but at the farm, actually,” the man’s lawyer told local paper Nya Wermlands-Tidningen. “So he put her in the freezer to later bury her outside and then it fell by the wayside.”
According to information obtained, the woman’s family reported her missing after losing communication with her as a result of many justifications from her husband, including her husband’s claim that she no longer wished to communicate with them.
Following a tip, police discovered her remains in March. The man later confessed to concealing both her death and body.
At first, he said he had done it to wait for spring so he could bury her close to their property in Varmland.
According to reports, the man allegedly dismembered his partner and placed her in the freezer, where he also kept food for himself.
“The man also used the freezer for other purposes which I argue means that the deceased person’s sanctity of the grave was violated every time the man opened and closed the freezer, which is an aggravating circumstance,” a prosecutor stated.
