Prosecutors clarified that Ibrahim did not tell his family anything about his girlfriend’s pregnancy, even though she planned to move in with him a week later, the report added.

Ibrahim reportedly texted her after learning of the pregnancy: “I know we can make it work, but I can’t keep my family. If I could, keeping the baby wouldn’t be a problem.” socket.

Afton Blade reports that Ms. Erneberg’s last message to Ibrahim was sent just after midnight on April 29, when she wrote: “Baby, talk to me.”

Shortly after receiving her message, Ibrahim allegedly went to her home and strangled her, according to prosecutors.

Erneberg’s mother told a Swedish media outlet, “She is very happy. She is about to move to a new apartment and start her journey as a mother. This is the worst thing imaginable.”
