   "Secondary school" is not an accurate description. It's a school for   
   adults who needs to improve their grades from secondary school. There   
   is also a fair share of people taking classes in Swedish for Immigrants.   
   All victims were adult. The oldest was 68 years old.

   It seems that the courts in Brazil are more efficient in some other
