Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

We're talking about voluntary manslaughter. "Drap" or whatever. That's 6-10 in Sweden.
That requires intent. I'm pretty certain intent can't be implied in this case. She pushed her and she fell, but was old and frail and died. She did not kill her on purpose. It's involuntary.
That's exactly the manslaughter part. She voluntarily shoved her, which is a crime, with the unintended consequence of homicide.
If she intended to kill her, that would rise to murder.
We're talking about a different nations laws and it's defined differently. I'm done if you aren't going to read the details of the thing you literally posted. Read the things it links to.
Yes, the thing you and I both read: "A person who causes the death of another person through negligence"
Shoving someone on purpose is not negligence. It's a voluntary, intentional act. Hence, voluntary manslaughter, in Sweden called Dråp.
Voluntary manslaughter state of mind requirment:
If you accidentally kill someone without intent, it isn't voluntary manslaughter. If someone pisses you off and you intend to kill them and you do, then it is. Pushing someone and then ending up dead is not that most likely. The intent was not death most likely. It was injury.
That's murder. Listen man, you obviously never studied criminal law, just read the wiki on manslaughter. The whole point of voluntary manslaughter is you intentionally assault someone but didn't mean for them to die. If you did something negligent, (make a turn in a car without looking) and kill someone, that's involuntary manslaughter, aka negligent homicide.
