[quote:5a6f478247]16 years for axe murder
A 19-year-old man accused of killing a 20-year-old friend with an axe in January last year has been sentenced to a Larvik court to 16 years in prison. The prosecution had hoped for the maximum term of 21 years.
After the murder the teenager cut up the victim's corpse and stored it in a refrigerator in the killer's apartment. The body was not found for over a week
The teenager has maintained throughout that the death was an accident. He explained to police that he was playing with the axe when he missed and ended up hitting his friend in the head. The killer also claims that he was high on hashish when this happened.
The court found that the 19-year-old struck or chopped his friend four times in the head with the axe, causing fatal injuries. Last August the accused was judged to be sane at the time of the crime and eligible for criminal prosecution
