The verdict against Theodor Engström, who murdered Ing-Marie Wieselgren in Visby during the Almedal Week, is fixed. It is clear since Chamber Prosecutor Henrik Olin announced that he will not appeal.
On December 6, Theodor Engström was sentenced to forensic psychiatric care with a special discharge examination for the murder of Ing-Marie Wieselgren and preparation for a terrorist crime through the murder plans of Center leader Annie Lööf.
Prosecutor Henrik Olin had requested that Engström be convicted of terrorist offenses for the murder. Now Olin announces that, despite his objections to the district court’s assessment, he does not intend to appeal the verdict.
“It is an assessment of a previously untested area that I can accept after careful consideration. In addition, I can state that the precedential value of a possible appellate court verdict is likely to be relatively limited as each criminal suspicion of possible terrorist crime is unique,” says Henrik Olin in a press release.
