Bobby Äikiä (12 March 1995 – 14 January 2006) was a 10-year-old Swedish boy with Fragile X syndrome who was tortured and killed by his mother and stepfather in their home near Nässjö, Jönköping County.

Larsson began selling Niina promises of an idyllic rural life in a quaint little country croft with a few animals to raise.

One particular incident recalled by Niina involved Bobby soiling himself, whereupon Larsson forced him to wear the stained underwear on his face for a day and a half.

By December 2005, the abuse had reached a point where, in order to hide their actions, Larsson and Niina advised his school that he would be absent for an extended period of time due to illness.

The following day — 14 January 2006 — Bobby was found dead by Niina, who claimed she believed he had died choking on a half-eaten orange.

By February 2006 the two were arrested for suspicion of murder and, following Niina's confession to police, Bobby was found under the ice in Lake Lovsjön.

The Swedish tabloid newspaper Expressen organized a collection of 30,000 roses from the public, which were gathered at Äikiä's funeral in Ödsmåls Church north of Stenungsund, Västra Götaland County.

In 2008, the Swedish parliament passed a law which sets out guidelines for the investigation of suspected child abuse involving special needs children.
