“It is connected with the fact that the court considers the danger of a new and serious breach of integrity to be imminent”, the judgment states. Furthermore, it appears from the judgment that the court believes that the convicted person was in a state of mind that made him insane at the time of the murder. Emphasis is also placed on the fact that the man has carried out serious breaches of integrity in violation of the law only three months apart, and that the actions have taken place even though the man was subject to mental health protection. Has pleaded not guilty It was last May that Stig Ola Westgård (56) bled to death after several stab wounds. After the stabbing, large parts of Westgård’s body were severely abused. Westgård called AMK himself and said that he had been stabbed in the stomach. The murder took place in a municipal apartment at Lademoen in Trondheim. The man was also charged with having attacked a nurse two months before the murder, when he was admitted to emergency at St. Olav’s hospital in Østmarka in Trondheim. Convicts have throughout denied criminal guilt for all charges. The man has not previously been punished for violence. The dead person was found on this sofa in the apartment of the now convicted man. Photo: The police He is and was psychotic and has had several admissions to psychiatry. The man has been committed to a psychiatric institution since the murder last year. Convicts have been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and alcohol addiction. The defense believes the healthcare system has failed The convicted man himself has explained that he woke up in his living room on the morning of 15 May, and that Westgård was lying dead next to him under a blanket. Experts have said during the trial that the convict misinterprets even simple things and that he claims his life is threatened. The man has explained that it was Putin he had killed when he was arrested in the apartment. During the trial, it also emerged that the man often did not take his medication for psychosis after he was discharged from Østmarka. Two weeks ago, the prosecutor filed a claim that the man had to be sentenced to compulsory mental health care for the murder in May, the desecration of the body and the violence against a nurse three months before the murder. Domfelte’s defender Kolbjørn Lium has argued that the man must be acquitted because he is not sane and that he must receive treatment. The defender has also said in court that he believes the healthcare system has failed in the treatment of the man.
