Very disturbing details emerge regarding the death of 29-year old Finnish hockey player
Janne Puhakka was one of the first openly gay male athletes to play in the QMJHL and Finnish Leagues.
However, some tragic news has surfaced after the 29-year olds death was revealed earlier this week. According to TMZ, Puhakka's partner Rolf Nordmo has officially confessed to shooting and killing Puhakka. The two had a 37-year age gap and had been together since 2014.
The recent report also states that the two had recently broken up, but no one had heard from Puhakka in a few days which ultimately led to a welfare check being issued. Unfortunately that was when it was discovered that Puhakka was tragically killed.
Down below is the excerpt of the original police report that was released:
According to IS information, the (crime) took place on Sunday evening at the property where ex-hockey player Janne Puhakka , 29, and his partner, Norwegian veterinarian Rolf Nordmo , 66, live. [...] The police will not confirm the identities of the parties involved.
ALTHOUGH it's only been less than a day [...] the police have a good idea of the course of events.
- We have a reasonably good understanding of what has happened, crime commissioner, head of investigation Matti Högman tells Ilta-Sanom.
- But, of course, we only suspect and the investigation is in the early stages, Högman says.
The police suspect that the act was particularly brutal and cruel. In addition, the police suspect that there was sound judgment in the act.
- We suspect sound judgment and a particularly raw and cruel way of doing things, Högman tells Ilta-Sanom."
Truly a devastating crime, may Janne Puhakka rest in peace. On behalf of everyone here at NY Rangers Insider, we send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Puhakka during this difficult time.
