In one of the oldest unsolved criminal cases in Finland, a Finnish court on Wednesday slot pg acquitted a 52-year-old Dane of murder and attempted murder over an attack on two young German backpackers on a Baltic Sea ferry more than 30 years ago.

Klaus Schelkle, aged 20, was killed and his 22-year-old girlfriend Bettina Taxis severely injured in a brutal attack while they were sleeping on the outer deck of the Viking Sally, en route from Stockholm in Sweden to the Finnish port of Turku in. July 1987.

The crime took place on Finnish waters near the Aland Islands archipelago. The ship was later sold and renamed, and sank seven years afterward with great loss of life in one of Europe's worst peacetime maritime accidents.

Following decades of investigation, Finnish police concluded last year that the Danish man, at the time a 18-year-old boy scout going to an international jamboree in Finland and who allegedly arrived first at the scene to help the victims, was the key suspect. in the complex case.

The man denied all charges during the one week-long trial that ended late May. He wasn't taken into custody and returned to Denmark.

The district court based in Turku, western Finland, said the prosecutors “had failed to prove the defendant ... to be the only person having had the possibility and opportunity to commit the crimes in concern.”

The court also stressed that the murder weapon was never found, saying that “the defendant hasn't had any such knowledge about the murder weapon that only the perpetrator of the offenses could have had.”

Prosecutors alleged that the man had earlier confessed to committing the crime, and were seeking a life sentence for him. They claimed the Dane had given such a detailed account of events during the investigation and media interviews that it was impossible he was simply an outsider who just happened arrive at the scene first.
