The eighteen-year-old accused of murdering two teachers at the Latin School in Malmö was not affected by a serious mental disorder, the forensic psychiatric examination shows.

The Forensic Medicine Agency’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. There are thus no conditions for handing him over to forensic psychiatric care, according to the Swedish Medicines Agency.

It was on March 21 that the 18-year-old masked himself and attacked two randomly selected teachers with an ax and knife. He inflicted such severe injuries on both of them that they died. He then alerted the police himself.

He has confessed to all the deeds and explains his actions by saying that he wanted to do a deed that was so horrible that everyone would afterwards distance themselves from him.
