Doctor dubbed 'Swedish Fritzl' jailed for kidnapping woman and holding her captive in bunker
A Swedish doctor has been jailed for ten years for kidnapping a woman and holding her in a purpose-built bunker. The
court heard that Martin Peter Trenneborg, 38, drugged and kidnapped the
victim last September. He then kept her captive for six days after
snatching her from her flat in Stockholm.
Trenneborg was acquitted of rape, a charge he denied. He has been referred to as the 'Swedish Fritzl', after Austrian Josef Fritzl, who kept his daughter locked in a secret bunker for more than 24 years.
Trenneborg,
first met the victim on a date at her flat last year. He then drugged
her using Rohypnol laced with strawberries dipped in chocolate. He used
masks to concealed both their identities and took her to his car in a wheelchair, prosecutors said. The masks the doctor used when he kidnapped the victim last SeptemberHandoutHe
then drove her 350 miles (560km) to his rural home in southern Sweden,
where he had built a soundproof bunker inside a garage that contained a
bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and exercise yard.
Trenneborg shackled
the victim in the bunker, only unchaining her so that she could shower.
Prosecutors allege the victim was raped, but the court found
insufficient evidence to support the claim. The court heard
that the doctor drafted a 'contract', listing sex acts the victim would
have to perform to limit her stay in the bunker along with other acts
such as attempting to escape, which would be punished by extended
confinement.
During their investigation, police in Sweden
found a document on Trenneborg's computer, which required her to provide
a 'GFE' or 'girlfriend experience', which would oblige her to perform
duties including shaving body hair and kissing him during sex.
Trenneborg
returned to the victim's flat after kidnapping her to find that she had
been reported missing. He then took her to a police station so that she
could assure officers that she was with him of her own volition, when
officers realised something was wrong. Prosecutors are
considering appealing against the dismissal of the rape charge. The
court ordered he must pay 180,000 Swedish krona (£15,000) in damages to
the victim. Source International Business times
