The 41-year-old man has himself stated to his defense lawyer Bo Victor that he started the fire that destroyed the so-called Jane Doe house - or the Sko Mårten house as it is also called.

The 41-year-old is now in custody on suspicion of arson.

The 41-year-old has told his defense lawyer that the reason he started the fire was that he wanted a new forensic psychiatric assessment.

On Monday, however, the 41-year-old withdrew his recognition.

It writes LT.

- It makes no difference in this case.

You have to reckon with the fact that someone in this type of case can take back an acknowledgment.

There are other circumstances that have made him now in custody, prosecutor Eva-Lena Rimér told SVT.

Convicted of several crimes

The man is in custody on the stronger ground of suspicion "probable cause".

A crime must always be proven, whether there is a confession or not, prosecutor Eva-Lena Rimér states.

This is not the first time the 41-year-old has escaped from forensic psychiatric care.

It shows a review that SVT has done.

Initially, he was cared for on a voluntary basis, but in 2016 he was arrested for a series of thefts from stores in Östersund and was then sentenced to forensic psychiatric care.

This after it was established that he suffered from a serious mental disorder.

In addition to theft, he was also convicted of threatening a police officer with violence.

In 2016, the 41-year-old was in 13 sections of the criminal record.

Most of it was about theft, but he was also convicted of threatening an official and a case of assault.

Threatened a doctor

The 41-year-old is now being cared for in forensic psychiatry in Sundsvall.

But on two occasions he has escaped from there.

In January 2018, he deviated for the first time.

While on the run, he sent threats to a doctor in Östersund who had a responsibility for his care to persuade him to arrange a new place in forensic psychiatry, as he was dissatisfied with the then placement.

The threats were that the 41-year-old would send criminals home to the doctor and they would use force against him, if he did not do as the 41-year-old requested.

Several of the threatening messages were signed "Sincerely, NN (name)."

The 41-year-old was sentenced to continued inpatient care.

In space for months

The second time the 41-year-old escaped from forensic psychiatry was in August 2019. Then he did not return to the clinic until April 2020.

This is stated in the latest application for leave, which was submitted this October.

A six-hour permit was then granted for the 41-year-old to meet his brother.

The decision then stated that the risk of escape was small as the 41-year-old's condition improved.

The decision of the Administrative Court reads as follows:

“Since May, he has been in the current department and has mainly worked well.

He has now shown good care by participating in roundtrips and weekly talks, resuming his medication and expressing interest in participating in activities.

He has also been out with staff 38 times, which has worked well. "
