A man accused of manslaughter and aggravated child rape searched the internet for information about strangulation, among other things.
The 19-year-old man accused of murdering a teenager in Valkeakoski was looking for information about dark things just shortly before his shocking act.
The search history of the man’s phone revealed his interest in violent and sexual crimes. He had searched for information about rape, strangulation with a belt, killing, and serial killers.
Among the names the man applied for was one known as a serial predator Mika MoringFinnish serial killer, US serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy and the monster doctor of Nazi Germany Josef Mengele.
He also sought information about the party paying the lawyer’s fee, child pornography and pedophilia, rape convictions and masturbating in a store.
Eight sexual images of the child were found on the man’s phone.
According to the defendant’s assistant, true crime is popular entertainment, and it cannot be directly concluded that the man planned his crime.
The man is accused in Pirkanmaa District Court of manslaughter, aggravated child rape. The victim, a 15-year-old girl, was found dead in a forest near Naaka’s residential area last May.
According to the prosecutor, the defenseless girl had been raped and killed by strangulation.
In addition, the man is accused of possessing an image depicting a child sexually.
The prosecutor demands at least 13 years of unconditional imprisonment for the man.

The victim’s parents demand that the man be sentenced for murder, for which the punishment is the harshest possible, i.e. life imprisonment.
According to them, the search history of the man’s phone shows that he had prepared for the act. He was also equipped for the act by taking a knife with him, which was found under the victim’s leg.
According to the relatives, the man had been looking for a suitable victim at the usual gathering place for young people and had followed their daughter for about two kilometers before the crimes.
In their opinion, the act was brutal and cruel. They have described the act as sadistic.
A cruel message
police
In their demands, the relatives also highlight the man’s writing on the Ylilauta forum in March 2024.
– Today I carry out my first kill. A woman who has been aroused for a long time strangles him, the man wrote at the time.
The message led to the man’s arrest. In April, the police closed the preliminary investigation of the case, as the threat was not directed at anyone.
The crimes for which the man is now accused took place at the end of May.
The victim’s relatives demand compensation of a total of 70,000 euros from the man for the suffering caused by the insult.
With a controversial position

The man has denied the murder and the charges as presented by the prosecutor.
He has admitted that he was at the same place as the victim at the time of the events, that he had sexual intercourse and that he caused injuries to the victim.
In his opinion, it was basic rape and assault, as well as aggravated manslaughter.
He has also admitted to possessing an image depicting a child sexually.

At the time of the events, the man accused of manslaughter and aggravated child rape was on probation for a robbery conviction.
He has also previously been convicted of aggravated damage, robbery, theft and online fraud.
In the summer of 2023, he claimed to the authorities that he had committed a murder.
– Gay, I shot something whore, he claimed to the emergency operator.
The call was unwarranted and the act was considered minor, so the investigation against the police for snitching was decided.
