On April 22 she became a woman found in a 24 meter deep mine shaft in the municipality of Norberg in Sweden. A man was accused, after he allegedly raped the woman first and then pushed her into the mine shaft, the police write on their First page.

– The rape took place in a lonely and dangerous place that the woman was unable to leave. Therefore, I believe that the offense must be assessed as serious. Then she abused her again and pushed her into a hole she had no way out of. She spent about a day in the mine, and it was just a coincidence that she was found and could be rescued, state attorney Ann-Sofie Trossing said in the police press release.

The evening paper reports that the woman remained in the mine for 31 hours and 20 minutes.

Before the man pushed the woman into the hole, he allegedly killed his ex-wife. This according to the offended woman, he writes The evening paper.

– He said I was going to die in the pit, the woman said in an interview, according to the report L’Espresso.

When the woman was at the bottom of the well, the man is said to have thrown bricks at her, according to a court document to which VG had access.

Asked if they would get married

Expressen writes that the woman and the man met when they lived in the same asylum shelter. The man is said to have spoken several times about wanting to marry her.

On April 21, the day before the woman was found in the mine, the man went to visit the woman, and they later drove together to Örebro, writes Expressen.

The accident must have occurred in the municipality of Norberg in Sweden:

Also, the newspaper writes that the woman thought they were going to Örebro to fix the internet for her, but instead the trip went on a lonely forest road.

There, the man asked if they were going to get married, even if they were not supposed to have a love affair. The man then accused her of adultery and the woman opened the car door and she tried to escape. But the woman was caught again and then raped, Expressen writes.

The newspaper reports that the man in question is 40 years old.

In front of SVT the state prosecutor claims that he has assessed the state of evidence to the extent that there are sufficient grounds for prosecution and that therefore on September 15 he prosecuted the man in the case.

District court documents show the man was previously convicted of several offenses, including drug offenses and severe illegal driving, writes Aftonbladet.
