It was at the end of October that a man in his 80s was arrested and later arrested after he has threatened two people in the staff and abused six fellow residents at Lugnet's elderly home. Two weeks later, he was released from custody but he is still suspected of crime.

"Goalkeepers who barely remember what happened"

In December, the prosecutor decided to apply for the man to undergo a forensic psychiatric examination before any possible prosecution and trial may become relevant.

- It feels like the best way to go now. We have goalkeepers who barely remember what happened and a suspect who does not know what he has done at all, said police investigator Johan Allard to SVT then.

Refusal in court - Professor is taken in instead

But now the court has therefore rejected the prosecutor's application and chooses the usual time that forensic psychiatric examination is made after trial and verdict.

- The preliminary investigation is now ongoing and I have to decide whether or not it will be prosecuted, says Sara Friedman.

Instead, you will now bring in an expert who will give a statement to the preliminary investigation.

- I have engaged a professor who will generally comment on dementia as a basis for the prosecutor's decision, says preliminary investigator Johan Allard.
