She called the police and said that she had murdered her neighbor to trick the officers into taking her home.A patrol arrived at the scene within minutes – however, it did not take the officers too long to realize the “murderer” was just trying to get home; instead they took her to a detox facility.The woman now faces court, as police demand she be fined 1.7 thousand Swedish krona, which is about $250.Prosecutors also proposed that the woman be fined 2,000 krona as an additional punishment.
