The man, who was cared for in a locked psychiatric ward at Danderyd hospital, had on several occasions told about his thoughts on killing his ex.
“Speaks clearly and very clearly about his thoughts and plans. Talking about his girlfriend and his frustration that he felt towards her, when she broke up with him,” says the man’s journal, which GP has seen.
Despite this, he was granted leave on his own shortly afterwards. On May 3, 2017, he killed his ex-girlfriend with a large number of stab wounds in her home in Järfälla municipality.
Mattias Månsson, chief medical officer and deputy director of operations at Psychiatry Nordväst at Danderyd hospital, tells GP that the responsibility “falls heavily” on them.
— Of course, all staff involved in the care should have been aware that the thoughts of murdering their ex were present in this patient. It’s very remarkable that it doesn’t seem to have been raised at all in connection with his release, he says.
The man was later sentenced to 18 years in prison for the murder.
