Polish woman missing from Stockholm home

Police are searching for 37 year-old Agnieszka Mardyla, who went missing from her Stockholm home on April 20.

Polish woman missing from Stockholm home

Mardyla, originally from Krakow in Poland, has lived in Stockholm for more than twelve years.

On April 20, she was getting ready to fly home to Poland for a visit.

“She checked the flight numbers with her flatmate, and then left the house around 6pm,” her sister Barbara Mardyla told The Local.

Agnieszka Mardyla continued to text with her flatmate for another couple of hours on Friday evening.

“Since then, no one has heard from her,” her sister said.

Both Polish and Swedish police have been informed of her disappearance, but remain stumped as to what lies behind it.

Friends and family are also unsure what may have caused Mardyla to disappear.

“We’ve been trying to come up with reasons for it, but haven’t been able to. If I only knew why, this would feel easier,” Barbara Mardyla said.

“I’m so worried about her. I really hope she’s okay.”

Any readers with information relevant to the case are advised to call the Swedish police at 114 14.

Denmark convicts man over bomb joke at airport

A Danish court on Thursday gave a two-month suspended prison sentence to a 31-year-old Swede for making a joke about a bomb at Copenhagen's airport this summer.

Denmark convicts man over bomb joke at airport

In late July, Pontus Wiklund, a handball coach who was accompanying his team to an international competition, said when asked by an airport agent that
a bag of balls he was checking in contained a bomb.

“We think you must have realised that it is more than likely that if you say the word ‘bomb’ in response to what you have in your bag, it will be perceived as a threat,” the judge told Wiklund, according to broadcaster TV2, which was present at the hearing.

The airport terminal was temporarily evacuated, and the coach arrested. He later apologised on his club’s website.

“I completely lost my judgement for a short time and made a joke about something you really shouldn’t joke about, especially in that place,” he said in a statement.

According to the public prosecutor, the fact that Wiklund was joking, as his lawyer noted, did not constitute a mitigating circumstance.

“This is not something we regard with humour in the Danish legal system,” prosecutor Christian Brynning Petersen told the court.
