The prosecution delivered its indictment on the last day of the trial, stating that the facts clearly indicated the accused had deliberately driven his vehicle into the group of people on 2 January 2019.
According to deliberations in the trial, an argument had taken place prior to the incident, causing the defendant to target his ex-partner and her companions with the intention of inflicting as much damage as possible. The prosecution therefore stated that the accused was guilty of murder and attempted murder, requiring a life sentence.
The victims' lawyer said his clients' lives had been irreversibly changed and asked how the defendant could have amassed so much hatred to want to kill people close to him. He also expressed shock at the fact the accused did not appear to regret killing his two year old son, displaying little emotion throughout the trial.
Two of the victims, including the defendant's former partner and her partner at the time, are now receiving a disability pension. The victims' lawyers also accused the defendant of never having spoken of his own son, who died in the crash, although he had claimed he did not want to hurt anyone.
The accused's lawyer spoke of a "demonisation" of his client. The verdict is expected on 15 July.
