Jonna Henningsson

 

The dismemberment in Askersund refers to the murder and dismemberment of a 22-year-old woman in Askersund on 18 June 2014. The murder and the subsequent dismemberment were carried out by the then 24-year-old Jonna Henningsson, who was later sentenced to life imprisonment.

Sequence of events

The origin of the murder was that both women were in love with the same man. A week before the murder itself, Jonna Henningsson had assaulted the victim and also googled how a dismemberment is carried out in the best way. Early in the morning of June 18, 2014, the then 24-year-old Jonna Henningsson went to her ex-boyfriend's apartment in Askersund. He was not at home at the time, but it was his new 22-year-old girlfriend.

Once inside the apartment, Henningsson attacked the victim with a hammer. After dragging her rival into the hallway of the apartment, she stabbed her repeatedly, first with a kitchen knife and then with a sharper hunting knife. She also stabbed her with a syringe she had brought with her. After the murder, Jonna Henningsson dismembered the 22-year-old's body and put the parts in blue Ikea bags, which she then placed in her car. Only after she had finished working for the day did she drive to an outdoor area at Hällabrottet outside Kumla and hide the body parts.

Henningsson had told several people, including her sister and ex-boyfriend, which she had argued with the 22-year-old. She said that they had cut each other and that she did not know where the 22-year-old was now. After being asked, she called the police herself and when the police questioned her story, she confessed to the murder.

Even though Henningsson had googled how best to murder someone and arrived at the apartment with, among other things, hammers, cutters, preparations for falling asleep and syringes prepared with, among other things, alcohol, the Örebro District Court sentenced her to 16 years in prison for manslaughter and breach of the peace of griftefred. In addition, she was sentenced to pay SEK 284,000 in damages to the victim's relatives. On March 18, 2015, the Göta Court of Appeal sentenced her to life imprisonment for murder.
