Both in questioning and during the trial, the accused Visby murderer Theodor Engström said that he had three targets during the last day of the Almedal week: Ing-Marie Wieselgren, Annie Lööf and Hanna Stjärne.
Nevertheless, SVT's CEO was not a plaintiff in the trial.
She also did not find out that she was a possible target until her colleagues read the preliminary investigation, where it appears that Engström passed Stjärne and considered attacking her but instead chose to continue following Ing-Marie Wieselgren, and kill her.
SVT's security department was also not informed directly when the preliminary investigation protocol became public.
Lawyer Henrik Olsson Lilja and former chief prosecutor Jan Tibbling have now investigated the matter on behalf of SVT.
This is what the board Utgivarna, an interest organization for Swedish publishers, writes in a debate article in Expressen.
- We have come to the conclusion that there are good grounds for also establishing Hanna Stjärne as a plaintiff after taking part in the preliminary investigation, says Henrik Olsson Lilja to SVT Nyheter.
"Rhymes badly"
The investigation's conclusions are that the defendant "through his actions has passed the point of preparation for both terrorist crimes and murder in relation to both Annie Lööf and Hanna Stjärne".
But it means that the requisites for preparation are met.
- Partly that you are going to Visby and have already called in three people, partly the deceased, but also Annie Lööf and Hanna Stjärne.
Partly because you go so far and are nearby together with the information provided by him himself, says Henrik Olsson Lilja.
However, the prosecutor chose to only prosecute attempted terrorist crimes through preparation for murder in the case of Center leader Annie Lööf, as he judged that there was sufficient evidence for that.
The publishers believe that the threats against journalists are not taken seriously in the prosecution.
"It goes badly with the signals given to us earlier from representatives of the judiciary and from the Riksdag, which particularly highlighted hate crimes against journalists as a danger to democracy."
They also state that the case with Theodor Engström and the death threat against SVT's CEO cannot be considered an isolated case.
"Many media managers and journalists live today with constant death threats."
Prosecutor Henrik Olin writes in an email to SVT Nyheter:
"I am happy to take criticism on this and explain my decision on this matter after the trial is over."
