The 73-year-old suspect fired two shots at a real estate agent in Växjö. The broker died and the suspect is charged with murder.
The question has been whether the suspect was suffering from a serious mental disorder at the time, which affects what punishment the man may be sentenced to. The first forensic psychiatric examination revealed that the man did not appear to suffer from any such disorder. At the suspect's own request, the National Board of Health and Welfare's legal council made a new assessment stating that the council comes to the same conclusion.
