The double murder of eight-year-old Mohammed Ammouri and 56-year-old Anna-Lena Svensson occurred on 19 October 2004 in Linköping, Sweden. Both were stabbed to death at Åsgatan in Linköping. The murders remained unsolved and with no suspects for 16 years, until the new method of ancestral DNA analysis was used. In June 2020, a suspect was arrested and later found guilty of the murders and sentenced to psychiatric care indefinitely. It was the first time in Swedish history that the method of ancestral DNA was used to solve any murder or other crime in Sweden.
