Peder Angel Lundquist Langen (19) took his own life in February 2024, after a life marked by a lot of bullying. According to his parents, Peder Angel became a victim of bullying already when he started first grade. Following the death, the parents chose to report the matter to the police. The case has now been dropped. – On the basis of findings in the investigation, the police believe that there are complex reasons why Lundquist took his own life, says police attorney Anna Vagstad Brunstad. – Still in the same hell – We think it’s terribly sad. That’s what Peder’s father, John Arne Langen, says after today’s decision. He believes it is incomprehensible that some of the cases are dropped. – There are at least two of the cases that we believe are very clear abuses and things that are illegal and punishable have been done, says the father. – In a way, they are saying that you can just continue to bully. Eight months after Peder died, the parents say they feel they are still in the middle of it. – In a way, we are still in the same hell we, – The last word has not been said. Now they are considering complaining about some of the conditions. – The last word has not been said here, says the father. In the report from the parents, reference is made to several messages that should have been sent to the deceased, the content of which is that the deceased does not deserve to live and that he should kill himself. The police have not been able to find these messages in the digital examinations carried out on Peder Angel’s digital devices. – We cannot rule out that Lundquist has received these messages, emphasizes Brunstad. The police attorney says that the investigation has not provided an answer as to when and how this should have been sent. – When it is not possible to find them, we are also unable to find the person or people who sent the messages or when they were possibly sent, she explains. . – On the basis of findings in the investigation, the police believe that there are complex reasons why Lundquist took his own life, says police attorney Anna Vagstad Brunstad.

They believed, among other things, that the son had been encouraged to take his own life. – We have concluded that there is no basis for finding criminal liability against any of the suspects in the case. – If the parents are dissatisfied with the outcome of the case or with the investigation in general, they have a right of appeal to the public prosecutor. The case is now adjourned on the status of the evidence.
