According to the woman’s lawyer, she sought psychiatric care on the same day as the arson – but was discharged immediately.
— What is interesting is the role of psychiatry in this, how it is possible to discharge someone who commits this directly within half an hour afterwards, says Jari Smolanderthe woman’s lawyer.
The woman has previously been unpunished and has periodically been treated for mental illness. She has admitted that she set fire to the store but believes that she had no intention of arson.
