It was on January 11 that, according to the lawsuit, the man must have stabbed a man in his 40s in the back at Motala central. The crime should be assessed as gross when the man used a knife and thereby showed special ruthlessness and cruelty, according to the prosecutor.

The suspected man has been detained since February. The man must also have had a knife in public place on two occasions.

The man acknowledges the course of events but denies the crime, but acknowledges the violation of the knife law.
