A 55-year-old Swedish man has been charged with fraud and falsifying records for allegedly putting his dead companion in a freezer and cashing in her pension
.Prosecution Authority said the man, who was not named, carried out"systematic" fraud involving around 1.3m kronor .
He had told investigators he put the Norwegian woman in a freezer after finding her dead in their home.The man had told family and friends the woman was still alive. "It must have been very stressful for family and friends to learn in this way that the woman had been dead for a long time," said prosecutor Linda Karlsson.
"The man also used the freezer for other purposes, which I believe means that the deceased's grave peace was violated every time the man opened and closed the freezer and constitutes an aggravating circumstance."
