TV Rep about Jon Nödtveidt (Dissection) and the murder of Josef ben Meddour. All rights to SVT1 TV.

"The Keillers Park murder is a famous Swedish criminal case. It started on 23 July 1997, when the body of an unknown man was discovered in a park in the city of Göteborg, in western Sweden. The man, who had been shot twice with a pistol, was identified two days later as Josef ben Meddour (aged 36), a homosexual and Algerian national, who had been living in Sweden for many years.

After many months of investigation, the police were able to apprehend the two murderers. They were named as Jon Nödtveidt (aged 22), the leader of black metal band Dissection, and his friend Vlad (aged 20), an Iranian national settled in Sweden. The two men, who confessed to their crime, were eventually sentenced by a court of appeal to ten years of incarceration.

Nödtveidt and Vlad, who were members of Temple of the Black Light, had on several occasions discussed performing human sacrifices before they murdered Meddour. That the motive was occult-related could not however be clearly established, and the murder was described as a homophobic hate crime by the Swedish police."
