A 50-year-old Lithuanian man was tragically murdered at a luxury rental villa in Raasepori, Finland, on February 26, 2025. Three foreign men, identified as a 43-year-old Polish man and two Ukrainian men aged 47 and 45, have been charged with the murder. Prosecutors allege that the victim was killed in a brutal attack that began outside the newly rented cottage, involving physical assaults and ultimately culminating in his death on the terrace of the villa.

The prosecutor's account details how the victim was subjected to severe violence, including being beaten, kicked, strangled, and struck with a sharp object. Half an hour after the assault began, the man succumbed to his injuries on the terrace where he ultimately lay dead. The violent act has raised concerns about safety in rental properties, especially those frequented by tourists and individuals seeking secluded getaways in Finland.

The investigation revealed that the two Ukrainian men arrived in Finland on the same day as the attack, purportedly with the intention of purchasing an electric vehicle to transport back to Ukraine. During their time in Finland, they met the victim and the Polish man, which would ultimately lead to the tragic events. As the case unfolds, it sheds light on the dynamics of crime involving foreign travelers in Finland and the implications for public safety in such venues.
