The 16-year-old Swedish girl and her brothers lure the taxi driver who had raped her into the forest and hang him

A 16-year-old girl in Sweden is accused of luring a taxi driver to a secluded forest area where she then killed him, in revenge for the rape he had done when she was 14.

She and her four brothers from 16 to 18 years old have appeared in court for the murder of the 26-year-old taxi driver.

The girl's brothers deny the accusations, while the girl herself admits that she was lured to the isolated place to beat the man who had raped her two years ago.

Uppsala prosecutors said the main motive for the killing was revenge after the rape complaint in February last year was not followed up by the police.

The girl had written a message to the taxi driver, asking him to come for a drink in a parking lot near the Hjälstaviken nature park in southeast Sweden in March.

Authorities have not named the victim, but local media said he was of immigrant origin.

But after the pair had met, her brothers are accused of strangling her with a rope they had taken with them, writes the local Fria Tider network.

After the disappearance, the taxi driver's body was found only a few weeks later, hidden in the snow.

Police said they found traces of the accused in the victim's car and that they had transferred money from his account.

The girl's brothers reportedly told some friends that they were "going to kill a rapist", and then informed them that they had "done it".

Andreas Pallinder, head of the investigation in Uppsala, admitted that the police should have taken the young woman's report of rape more seriously.

Ebru Tok, the lawyer of the victim's family members, said that "the family is in great pain and shocked by the unique situation of the event and the accusations".
