On a Wednesday afternoon in July, in the middle of the ongoing politicians' week in Almedalen, Theodor Engström attacks with a knife and kills Sweden's psychiatric coordinator Ing-Marie Wieselgren.

Four months have passed since the crime in Almedalen and Engström is now charged with terrorist offenses for the murder.

The investigation has shown that the accused has mapped a long line of politicians, journalists and public figures over several years.

Information that was saved in folders with names like "targets", "traitors" and "most wanted".

One of these was the Center Party's party leader Annie Lööf - whom Theodor Engström had concrete plans to murder.

Pictures of public figures

Several images of public figures at public events were found on Engström's hard drive, including four images taken during Almedal Week 2014.

One of the pictures, taken from the audience, shows Annie Lööf during a live SVT interview from Sunday 6 July 2014, which was the Center Party's day in Almedalen.

The security police comments in the preliminary investigation report that it is not "confirmed at this point whether it is Engström who is the photographer".

At the same time, they write that there are full-body photos of him taken during the same period in Almedalen "which suggests that he or someone in his company was the photographer".

But SVT can now show unique images that reveal the photographer.

When we go through archive material from the interview in question in 2014, we see how a camera captures a man who stands in the audience a few meters from Annie Lööf and picks up his mobile phone - at exactly the same time as the picture was taken according to the investigation.

The man is Theodor Engström.

- I have chosen to bring charges for premeditated crimes where Annie Lööf is the plaintiff, so it is clear that this fixation on her, which goes back a long way in time, is of interest for the assessment of the criminal suspicion, says District Attorney Henrik Olin when he sees SVT's images .

Lööf was also photographed in 2017

Another picture that was on the hard drive was taken in Almedalen in 2017 when Annie Lööf was on SVT's Opinion Live.

In this case, too, there is a camera pointed at the audience and the photographer, but since the picture was taken a few minutes before the broadcast started, we are unable to find the actual photo opportunity in the archive material.

But three minutes into the broadcast, we see a familiar face in the audience at exactly the spot from which the picture was taken, just a few meters behind Annie Lööf.

Theodor Engström has said in questioning that he was in Almedalen several times earlier during the politicians' week.

When asked if he had been armed in previous years as well, he answers: "I've had a knife on me, yes."
