After, among other things, throwing firebombs at the police in 2013, the 56-year-old man was sentenced to forensic psychiatric care with a special discharge examination for arson and attempted serious assault.
Was cared for in Vadstena
The man was placed at the forensic psychiatric clinic in Vadstena.
He was cared for here for nine years, first as an inpatient and then in outpatient care - until this summer when he was discharged.
A few months later, he attacked the police again.
Now with a knife.
- Extremely tragic.
It has affected me.
I am sorry that it has happened, but at that time we did the right thing.
Everything indicated that he should be discharged, says Mats Edsgården, chief councilor at the administrative court.
