[HIGHLIGHTS] The parents of the dead John Walter sue Falu municipality

Five-year-old John Walter was placed in an HVB home in Värmland in June 2021. He escaped and was later found dead in a nearby body of water.

The employees were convicted of manslaughter. The parents filed a claim for damages with Falun municipality in May. The municipality has had three weeks to respond to the parents' claim, but has not done so. This means that the parents are now proceeding and suing the municipality at Falu District Court, which Falu Kuriren was the first to tell.
