First came a huge bang, then a chilling scream. In the middle of the night, an unknown man crashed through the patio door of the Peltonen family’s living room in Rauma.

Suvi Peltonen, 36 and heavily pregnant, had been sleeping on the sofa only a few meters away. Her family had gone to bed early on a weekday because their eldest child was due to start the next morning in a new daycare group. Instead, the night was cut short.

Ville Peltonen recalled waking around midnight to the sound of breaking glass. A stone flew through the patio door, followed immediately by the stranger himself.

The intruder, a repeat offender in his thirties, was fined 60 day-fines, totaling 360 euros, for violating domestic peace. He was also ordered to pay more than 4,000 euros in compensation. After the incident, the family threw away bloodstained toys and a rug and replaced the glass.
