Killer from Somalia gets 15 years in prison

Aftenposten:

Sogndal student Hedda Karterudseter was strangled last autumn

A 36-year-old asylum seeker from Somalia, who was found guilty of raping and murdering a female student at a college in Sogndal last year, was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison.

Hassan Samriye Hashin had admitted the murder. An appeals court also found him guilty of raping 19-year-old Hedda Karterudseter at Sogndal Folkehøyskole on October 28, 2004.

Hashin had followed Karterudseter home to her student apartment and admitted strangling her in a fit of jealousy. He denied raping her.

He had been sentenced to 16 years in prison by a lower court, which also found him guilty of both murder and rape. The maximum prison term in Norway is 21 years.

"15 years in prison"

Pretty typical of European "justice", from what I've seen -- extremely light sentences when compared to the US, even for the most heinous crimes, as here. A recent case near Berlin further illustrates the point: a 29 y/o, only days after his release from 7 years in prison for an earlier kidnapping and rape, killed and murdered a 15 y/o girl.
