A man convicted of attacking a woman near Sandá has been denied permission to take his case to the Supreme Court, KVF reports.

The Processbevillingsnævnet, which grants permission to appeal to the Supreme Court, rejected his application. He was convicted by juries in both the Faroese District Court and the Court of Appeal.

The man was sentenced to preventive detention for attacking the woman on a street near Sandá on April 28, 2024. He was permanently expelled from the Faroe Islands and ordered to pay her 200,000 kroner in compensation. He denies the charges.
