(Stockholm) A 35-year old man suspected of a number of murders of gay men in Sweden has been sentenced to life in the killing of one of the men.

His name, the name of the victim he was convicted of slaying and names of the other victims whose killings remain under investigation have not been published,

“All the victims were, or are, homosexual,” prosecutor Fredrik Ingblad told the court. “He has taken advantage of their sexual preferences and violated them.”

The victim whose murder he was convicted of was 43. Police said he was killed in his apartment in a Stockholm suburb last December.

The accused also was convicted of robbing another gay man two weeks earlier south of the city.

But police believe he also is linked to several other unsolved killings of gay men.

Ingblad said that the killer met his victims on several different internet gay chat sites. He would arrange to meet for sex in the victims’ homes but once there would beat and rob them.

Ingblad said the accused has served time in the past for attacks on gay men.

The 43 year old victim had been dead for several days when his body was found.

He had been bound and stabbed.

A computer was seized from the home of the accused. Police said it contained a large number of names which are still being compared to lists of unsolved murders and other violent crimes.
