Summary

A man in his 40s in Trelleborg reacted after finding an AI-generated image on his partner’s phone that depicted her with a man and a child. He woke her and struck her repeatedly for about three hours with a makeshift metal stick (a flyswatter with the plastic plate removed) and also threatened her with a knife; the victim initially said he had scratched her with the knife but later retracted that statement.

The man was convicted of assault and unlawful threat and sentenced to one year and three months in prison. He admitted to the assault with the metal stick but denied the knife threat.
