Terhi Tervashonka, a former arsonist and convicted murderer, is facing a new criminal charge in Lapland. The case concerns alleged threats made in August 2025 in Kemijärvi, according to a filing by the Lapland District Court. According to the indictment, three 11‑year‑old boys reported that an adult male had followed them on a scooter. The boys said the man appeared intoxicated, had been shouting at them, and behaved in a disturbing manner. They described the situation as frightening and told their parents. The parents then contacted Tervashonka, who had been alerted to the incident, and together they approached a residence where the alleged perpetrator was believed to be staying. Tervashonka and the mother of one of the boys spoke to the man on the phone, during which the man claimed that Tervashonka had threatened him with torture, severing his head, cutting off limbs, and killing him. Tervashonka and the other woman denied making any threats, stating that they told the man he did not need to scare the children. The man said he had been searching for his girlfriend’s missing phone during the evening and was driving slowly around the area while calling for it. The alleged threats were recorded in the phone conversation, which is the basis for the current charge of illegal threat. Tervashonka’s criminal record includes a 1998 conviction in Hyvinkää for participation in an arson incident, and a 2007 conviction for the murder of a 47‑year‑old man in Vaajakoski, Jyväskylä. The Lapland District Court will hear the new case in a session scheduled to begin today, Tuesday.
