Convicted migrant rapist convicted of brutal mugging of Swedish elderly woman

Karam Kanjo, a Syrian national, is sentenced to prison and deportation after robbing and pushing a 91-year-old woman down a flight of stairs at Sollentuna commuter train station.

The robbery was captured by a surveillance camera and it appears that passing witnesses did not try to stop the attack or help the elderly injured woman.

The crime-ridden Syrian national has previously served a prison sentence for assault-rape, but opposes deportation, citing the risk of “inhumane treatment ” in his home country of Syria.

It was in August this year that Karam Kanjo stalked and assaulted an elderly woman at Sollentuna commuter train station. She was on her way to visit her late husband’s grave in Norrviken, when Kanjo ripped off her necklace and pushed the 91-year-old woman down the stairs.

Several witnesses, who appear to be young women, can be seen on the same CCTV footage fleeing the scene, ignoring the woman’s helpless state and cries for help.

According to the district court, the robbery posed a life-threatening risk to the elderly woman, who can be seen in surveillance footage falling helplessly down the stairs. This is highlighted in the verdict from the Attunda District Court.

“Even a fall to the ground could have caused serious fractures. In this case, the fall occurred without hands down a flight of stairs. It appears to be a lucky coincidence that XX did not suffer very serious injuries in the fall. Although no forensic evidence or similar has been presented on the matter, the Court considers that, given XX’s age, it is clear that the violence Karam Kanjo used against her was fatal“.

Convicted of several serious crimes

Kanjo, who came to Sweden during the mass immigration wave in 2015, has previously been convicted of several crimes, including rape and theft. He appears in the criminal record under 19 sections.

Despite his extensive criminal history, he has opposed deportation to Syria, as he believes he risks torture upon return. However, the Migration Board considers that the security situation in Syria no longer constitutes an obstacle to deportation.

The Prison and Probation Service’s investigation shows that Kanjo lives in destructive social conditions and lacks permanent housing. Attunda District Court emphasizes in the verdict that he lacks such a connection to Sweden that would prevent deportation and points out that deportation is necessary after the sentence has been served.

On November 4, Attunda District Court sentenced Karam Kanjo to five and a half years in prison for aggravated robbery, violation of the Knife Act and minor drug offenses. The court also ordered him to be deported to Syria and banned from returning to Sweden.

The robbery of the 91-year-old woman has also attracted international attention as a warning example of the consequences of Sweden’s immigration policy.
