Shot with a shotgun
Ice hockey ace (29) shot dead by his partner
A heinous murder case has shaken Finland. As local media reported on Tuesday, former professional ice hockey player Janne Puhakka was shot dead at the age of 29. The perpetrator, the 66-year-old partner of the sportsman, confessed to the murder to the police.
On Sunday evening, a patrol car is said to have made its way to Espoo, west of the Finnish capital Helsinki. When they arrived at the professional ice hockey player's villa, his partner Rolf Nordmo was already waiting for the officers, according to reports, and allowed himself to be arrested without resistance.
Couple lived separately
According to Finnish media, the vet shot his partner with a registered shotgun, the motive probably being an argument a few weeks ago. Puhakka had wanted to end the relationship and Nordmo, who is said to have lived alone in the villa in the meantime, had been planning the crime ever since. "We know why the victim was visiting on Sunday, but we don't want to publish any details yet," said the authorities.
In the summer, the two published pictures together:
In 2018, Puhakka had ended his ice hockey career, and the following year he made his relationship with Nordmo official. Due to his openness about his sexuality, the former winger was regarded as a role model in the LGBTQ+ community and repeatedly appeared on Finnish TV programs and reality shows.
