When the school day ends on March 21, the 18-year-old locks himself in the school toilet with two knives, an ax and a hammer.

He puts on a scarf, mask and ear muffs, then stands outside another toilet door.

The female teacher who comes out of there is attacked first.

She receives such severe injuries that she dies.

Another teacher who witnesses the attack is chased through the corridor before she too is attacked and dies.

Not mentally ill

The 18-year-old has confessed to all the deeds and explains his actions by saying that he wanted to carry out a deed that was so terrible that everyone would afterwards distance themselves from him.

He was arrested later that night, and he has been in custody since March 23.

According to the forensic psychiatric examination, the man was not affected by a serious mental disorder.

The Medical Examiner's Office's message to the Malmö District Court is that he was also not judged to suffer from a serious mental disorder when he was examined, and therefore there are no prerequisites for handing him over to forensic psychiatric care.

Claimed for life

Prosecutor Johanna Liljeblad has requested that the 18-year-old be sentenced to life imprisonment.

Previously, a defendant had to be 21 years old to be sentenced to life imprisonment, but at the turn of the year the limit was lowered to 18 years.

The amendment to the law provides continued scope for a fixed-term sentence in the event of mitigating circumstances, but the prosecutor has not considered that to be relevant in this case.

Lawyer Anders Elison has previously expressed that he believes the sentence should be 14-16 years in prison.

This is because the court should take into account that the 18-year-old has certain psychological and social problems.
