The Västerbotten courier was the first to report the verdict.
In 2015, the man was sentenced to closed forensic psychiatric care following an attack that left his then boss unconscious in hospital for eleven days. A few days earlier, he had also run into three drunken children in a drunk state at the Tegge Bridge in Umeå.
The headmaster, the principal of the school he was working on at the time, tells how he handed out blow after blow with an ax to her head.
- It's like an animal standing there beating. When he has beaten me for a long time, I feel that life is running out of me, she told me at the trial.
Released from closed forensic psychiatric care
The administrative court in Umeå decided in April this year that the man should switch to open care, a decision appealed by prosecutors who demanded that the care be continued in closed form.
However, the Court of Appeal in Sundsvall chose to follow the administrative law line as the man's mental state has been stable for a long time, this is reported by the Västerbotten Courier.
