Lake Bodom Murders - Suspects - Pentti Soininen

Pentti Soininen

A number of property and violent crimes were sentenced to the maintenance man Pentti Soininen in the late 1960s. At the age of 24 while in the county of Kuopio in prison he confessed that he had committed the Lake Bodom blood murders. On the fateful night, Soininen, aged 15, resided near the site of the Lake Bodom murders. The police interrogated him, however his confession was not given much weight. Soininen was a psychopathic character who could be incredibly cryptic, especially while under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Soininen`s long criminal record included theft, assaults, and robberies. In 1969, Soininen hanged himself at Toijala, a prisoner transport station.
