Janne Puhakka was a trailblazer in the QMJHL and Finnish leagues as he was one of the first openly gay players.
Tragically, it was revealed this week that the hockey star was killed at the age of 29. According to TMZ, there is now a dark update on the story. As it turns out, his partner Rolf Nordmo has officially confessed to shooting Puhakka to death. The two had a 37-year age gap and had been together since 2014.
According to the report, the two had broken up recently. However, Puhakka had not been heard from in a few days which led to a welfare check. That was when it was discovered that Puhakka had been killed.
Below is an excerpt from the original police report.
"THE POLICE are investigating a suspected m****r in Henttaa, Espoo.
According to IS information, the (crime) took place on Sunday evening at the property where ex-hockey player Janne Puhakka , 29, and his partner, Norwegian veterinarian Rolf Nordmo , 66, live. [...] The police will not confirm the identities of the parties involved.
ALTHOUGH it's only been less than a day [...] the police have a good idea of the course of events.
- We have a reasonably good understanding of what has happened, crime commissioner, head of investigation Matti Högman tells Ilta-Sanom.
- But, of course, we only suspect and the investigation is in the early stages, Högman says.
The police suspect that the act was particularly brutal and cruel. In addition, the police suspect that there was sound judgment in the act.
- We suspect sound judgment and a particularly raw and cruel way of doing things, Högman tells Ilta-Sanom."
