Yesterday the Internet was abuzz with news that Necrophobic frontman Tobias Sidegard was to be thrown in Swedish jail for 18 months after domestic abuse of his wife and kids. Apparently Sidegard has a very, very different story to tell you!
You can read our initial report on the incident here. Sidegard’s wife Linda told police about incidents where she was allegedly beaten by him, forced into oral, as well as abuse for beating his daughters with a homemade bullwhip. He allegedly also locked his daughters and mother into a room during the day while he slept.
Sidegard, who we assumed was in prison, was actually released yesterday and saw what was written about him, originally published by Metal Insider, and responded to the site:
Hey! I saw the shit you are writing on your page. I’ve been set free after second appeal in higher court. Will get my judgement in 2 weeks and did really well in court, sooo. Most of the stuff you are writing about is stuff that I haven’t even been accused for. Some of it I even PROOFED being untrue in the investigation. The picture you put up shows a INFECTED eye and had nothing to do with me. I wasn’t even charged for it in court. I’ve been fucking innocently accused and never hit a woman in my life.
For their part, Metal Insider is sticking to their original story, saying they have seen court documents which stated everything that was previously reported.
