Supreme Court allows prosecution for attempted murder when victim dies after the alleged act.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the prosecution to proceed for attempted murder despite the victim's death occurring after the alleged assault. The prosecution argued that the defendant's intent to kill remained valid even though the victim survived the initial blow but later succumbed to injuries. The court ruled that the temporal gap between the assault and death does not negate the intent required for attempted murder, provided the death resulted from the inflicted wounds.
