So extreme was the case that one underage perpetrator was sentenced to a adult prison term instead of youth care, which is exceptionally rare in Sweden.
[1][2] Hron had been camping with a friend by the small lake Ingetorpssjön near his hometown Kode in Kungälv Municipality on the night of his murder.
Four young men (15-year-old Mikael Fjällholm and 18-year-old Daniel Hansson, plus a 17-year-old and another 18-year-old) appeared, who all had strong ties to the neo-Nazi skinhead subculture and especially the militant Nazi network Vitt Ariskt Motstånd.
On the evening of 17 August 1995, while Hron was camping with his friend Christian at a cliff at lake Ingetorpssjön, the group of neo-Nazis walked up to their campsite, dressed in nazi clothing and playing loud White Power music from a stereo.
They jump-kicked him, kicked him in the back of his head, struck his neck with a flaming piece of wood and burnt him, stomped on his stomach, destroyed his belongings and set fire to the tent he had shared with Christian.
In police interviews one of the killers stated they heard "a whistling of gurgling" sound from Hron at this point, although medics said that even if he had not been dumped in the lake he would not have survived the damages to his body and head from the beating.
The two murderers still on the scene rolled a cigarette as they watched Hron's body sink to the bottom of the lake, later jokingly bragging about it to the other two attackers.
The public was shocked by the news of such violence and a wave of huge anti-racist manifestations took place to honour Hron's memory.
All of them were active neo-Nazis, some of them involved in the violent organization Vitt Ariskt Motstånd (VAM), which translates to "White Aryan Resistance."
