DOMESTIC. SD leader Jimmie Åkesson wants the age of sentencing to be lowered from today's 15 years to 13. Life imprisonment should also be able to be imposed on 13-year-olds, according to him.

- My attitude is that if you are old enough to commit a serious violent crime then you are also old enough to take the consequences for the crime you have committed, he says in Ekot's Saturday interview.

The criminal authority age is currently being investigated by the government, in accordance with the Tidö Agreement.
