The East Uusimaa District Court has sentenced Tom Markus Dahlberg to 10 years and 6 months in prison for a murder that occurred on October 15, 2025, in Porvoo, Finland. Dahlberg shot and killed a 38-year-old man with an unlicensed shotgun in his home, where the victim was present with his adult daughter. In a harrowing turn of events, the father's actions in stepping in front of his daughter resulted in him being hit by the bullets intended for her, ultimately leading to his death on the scene.

The confrontation was preceded by a discussion regarding a €1,000 debt that the victim owed to Dahlberg. This financial dispute escalated quickly, leading to the shooting incident. The court ruled that Dahlberg was guilty of murder, attempted murder, and possession of a firearm without a license, highlighting the seriousness of his offenses and the tragic circumstances that led to the violent altercation.

In addition to his prison sentence, Dahlberg has been ordered to pay €13,000 in damages for suffering to the victim's daughter and an additional €3,000 in other compensations. Furthermore, he is obligated to pay a total of €20,000 to the victim's relatives for their suffering, illustrating not only the legal repercussions of his actions but also the profound impact of the crime on the victims’ families and the community at large.
