| Ikea killer brutally beaten in Swedish prison | ||
| 2016-09-22 | ||
| [THELOCAL.SE] The asylum seeker who stabbed two people to death at a branch of Ikea in Sweden last year has been brutally beaten at the prison where he was serving his life sentence. "Yå, süre! Ve bane dön't like yew!" Abraham Ukbagabir, an asylum seeker from Eritrea ...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country. The president, Isaias Afewerki, has been in office since independence in 1993 and will probably die there of old age... , was discovered by guards doubled up in pain in the cell where the assault took place on August 29. Once the door was opened he collapsed into the corridor outside and lay on the floor, "in the fetal position using his hands to protect his face," according to prison documents seen by the Expressen newspaper.
Ukbagabir used a knife pulled from a kitchen utensils display to carry out the attack, selecting his two victims at random. He stabbed himself in the stomach, but recovered after treatment in hospital. Swedish prison authorities have considered Ukbagabir at risk of assault by other prisoners from the moment he began serving his life sentence more than a year ago. From 8 April to 9 June, he was kept in isolation at Kumla Prison, where he has served most of his sentence, following a series of threats.
