Published at 34 PM

Two Iraqi men were detained on Monday on probable cause, suspected of kidnapping and aggravated rape. The men are said to have held three teenage girls captive in an apartment in Falkenberg on the night between Thursday and Friday last week. The men were arrested after one of the girls managed to get out and raise the alarm.
- It was a 15-year-old girl and two 16-year-olds, prosecutor Mats Ihlbom tells Samnytt.

The detained men, Zayar Kamaran Mahmod and Sarmad Hazim Barto Blasini, are 30 and 29 years old, respectively. They are both known to the police from before.

Marries to Sweden
Zayar Kamaran Mahmod comes from Kirkuk in Iraq and appears in nineteen episodes of the criminal record. He started committing crimes immediately when he arrived in Sweden in the fall of 2015 and has since been convicted of theft, illegal driving, violent resistance and minor drug offenses, among other things. He is also sentenced to prison for abusing his ex-wife.

Sarmad Hazim Barto Blasini comes from Ninava in Iraq and appears in two sections of the charge register. Both cases concern minor drug offences. In 2018, he applied for but was denied Swedish citizenship.

After several applications, Sarmad gets a permanent residence permit in 2017 by marrying a young Iraqi woman who lives in Sweden. He is now divorced from that woman and remarried to another woman from his home country.

Zayar instead comes to Sweden during the migrant crisis in 2015 together with his then wife. They are now divorced and she now has protected personal data together with the former couple's two joint children.

Rapes teenage girls
Sometime from Thursday last week until Friday, the two men allegedly kept three teenage girls locked in an apartment on Strandvägen in Falkenberg.

- Crime date is from the second to the third of February. So it runs over two days, says prosecutor Jon Lindahl to Samnytt.

It is he who is now responsible for the case, after taking it over from duty prosecutor Mats Ihlbom in Gothenburg who was in charge over the weekend.

In the apartment, at least one of the girls is brutally raped. One of them inexplicably manages to get out of the house and raises the alarm. The men were arrested on Friday in a major police operation.

15 and 16 years old
Both Lindahl and Ihlbom are tight-lipped about how the girls ended up in the apartment, and what possible relationship exists between them and the men.

- I don't want to go out with that kind of information right now. It's a bit sensitive. We need to hear everyone involved first, says Lindahl to Samnytt.

However, his prosecutor colleague in Gothenburg responds to how old the vulnerable girls are:

- It was a 15-year-old girl and two 16-year-olds, says Mats Ihlbom.
