It Was An Exciting Relationship While It Lasted

Some more cultural enrichment in Sweden: "Excitement for the baby she would never live to see: Pregnant Swedish woman, 20, 'strangled to death by Somalian boyfriend in suspected honour killing' had excitedly shared photos of her baby bump and ultrasound scan." Per the article:

    Saga Forsgren Elneborg, 20, was found strangled to death - possibly with a lamp cord - at home in the city of Örebro - which is two hours from the capital Stockholm.

    Prosecutors claim that her boyfriend, Mohamedamin Abdirisek Ibrahim, 22, from Somalia, killed her in April last year rather than face the shame of introducing the mother of his child to his Muslim family.

Further down in the article, it relates:

    In the indictment, prosecutor Elisabeth Anderson wrote: 'Mohamedamin Abdirisek Ibrahim has killed Saga Forsgren Elneborg by suffocating and strangling her by means of pressure on her neck with an impact on the trachea and the blood supply to the head.'

    She added in a press release: 'I mean that the murder took place in an honor context because the man wanted to preserve or restore his and his family's honor by killing the woman who was carrying his child.'

    In text messages to Saga, Ibrahim told her he would tell his relatives about their relationship and baby on April 28, 2023 - the night of Saga's murder.

    He expressed feeling nervous about telling them and wrote: 'Feels like I can almost feel my heartbeat all the way down to my stomach.'

    Saga tried to reassure him and promised that 'it will be fine'. In his last text to his girlfriend, Ibrahim claimed he told one person. Saga's follow-up messages, asking him how it was going and for him to 'talk to me', remained unanswered.

    State prosecutor Elisabeth Anderson alleges that Ibrahim then went to Saga's flat, where he 'violently' strangled her to death with the cable of her bedside lamp, according to local outlet Aftonbladet.

At least she wasn't racist.
