Together with his boyfriend, he dismembered 57-year-old Mikael Petersson – now he gets leave to walk and eat ice cream.
“Investigation shows that there are no security obstacles”, writes the Prison and Probation Service in the decision.
26-year-old Leonard Höglind, who was sentenced to life in prison for the high-profile murder of 57-year-old Mikael, has been granted leave from Tidaholm prison where he is serving his sentence.
In his application for leave, the 26-year-old wished to be given time off to buy food to grill, walk in the forest and buy ice cream. He received a yes to his application when the Probation Service assessed that it found “no security obstacles” for an “air hole leave”.
“The investigation carried out shows that there are no security obstacles to the requested air hole leave,” writes the Norwegian Prison and Probation Service in the decision.
The accomplice is denied
The 26-year-old’s accomplice, Anatoily Pettersson, who was the son of murdered Mikael, was also sentenced to life imprisonment, but was recently denied parole.
The institution suspects that he staged his seizures during the past year, which led to him having to seek care outside the prison, in order to deviate from the prison.
“The risk of escape or release from the institution is considered to be high,” writes the Prison and Probation Service in the decision.
Was “disgusted” by the father
57-year-old Mikael Petersson was murdered in Karlskrona in the summer of 2020.
According to the district court, the motive behind the murder was that Leo and the boyfriend wanted to stay in the apartment that Mikael Petersson lived in. But in video interrogations that TV4’s Kalla fakta took part in, more complex information emerged about the background.
Among other things, a picture of spies and torpedoes was painted. The son also stated that he was “so fucking angry and downright disgusted” with his father.
In Cold facts documentary The Mythoman – the murder in Karlskrona depicts the events that preceded the brutal murder of 57-year-old Mikael Petersson and about how a dangerous mythomaniac drags his partner into a completely made-up world.
