Photo: Johan Nilsson/TTAn 18-year-boy has been cleared of all murder charges after spending five months in custody suspected of killing a homeless German man at a railway station in Hässleholm. The man, who was identified as a German national in his fifties with no fixed abode, was found dead near a train station in Hässleholm, southern Sweden, in August last year. But on Friday Hässleholm District Court found that it had not been proven he was ever at the scene. The court did however order the young man to pay a fine for a minor narcotics offence and for threatening another man earlier the same evening.
