(Breitbart) A Swedish court has reduced the sentence for an Afghan migrant found guilty of slashing the throat of a Russian prostitute in a hotel room and leaving the woman for dead.
An appeals court has ruled to reduce the 16-year prison sentence of 23-year-old Seyed Alavi, who was found guilty of cutting a Russian woman’s throat in a hotel room in the city of Malmö, by one year but has kept his deportation order in place.
Alavi, originally from Afghanistan, had been sentenced last December over the attack, which left the Russian woman, said to be in her 30s, nearly dead as she managed to escape to the roof of the hotel where she was only found by chance, Expressen reports.
