Yes, the statement would usually be read as "He called you, before he was stabbed with your knife" but could be seen as "He called you with your knife, before he was stabbed".

Based on this, you really do not want to try to understand the "vuokralainen on lukkiutunut huoneeseensa".

There's got to be some Finnish wordplay that isn't translating. That's the only possible explanation.

To become locked [in] and to become like unto a daddy longlegs are both lukkiutua. The former from the noun lukko "lock" and the latter from the word lukki "Opiliones". It's not 100% cromulent as to lock oneself [in] would rather be lukittautua, not lukkiutua but it works.

Yes, lukittautui would be the perfect grammar but lukkiutui is something most people would say since it would not matter in the context and most regional dialects are more or less just different ways to streamline the language which by itself is very vanhakantainen.

Basically Lukko = lock, Lukki = Opiliones, or more commonly a archaic word for arachnid, and what Jerry Cotton said.

Same way "kyytön maito" can be "viperless milk" or "milk from a certain type of cows (Itäsuomenkarja)".

I love Finnish, the great thing about it is that it's so different from any language I'm familiar with that I haven't the slightest idea whether facts like that are 100% true or made up on the spot.

My personal favorite, being native to the language, is that mutsiis, can be both "anyhow" and "into your mother". It takes some grammatical liberties but what in Finnish doesn't. :D

Mutsiis, aloitetaan. == "Anyhow, lets start."
Työnnä se vaikka takaisin mutsiis. == "Why don't you push it back into your mother."

I was fortunate enough to stay in Helsinki for a while as a student, I loved it but never had time to learn more than some words for basic greetings/shopping/etc, but I figured there'd be a lot of traps like that if I were to learn it conversationally.
