The police have brought charges against St. Olav after the Lademoen murder case, writes Adresseavisen. The insane man (58) barely had a trace of antipsychotic medication in his blood when he stabbed Stig Ola Westgård to death at Lademoen in Trondheim in May 2021. Now the police will investigate whether the man was adequately followed up by St. Olav’s hospital before the murder, writes the newspaper. – We are opening an investigation into St. Olav’s hospital and have brought charges, says police prosecutor Christian Spets at Trøndelag police district, to Adresseavisen. The man was found dead in this apartment belonging to a convict. Photo: Police Killed and violated the deceased Stig Ola Westgård (56) bled to death after several stab wounds. The murder took place in a municipal apartment in Trondheim. After the stabbing, large parts of Westgård’s body were severely abused. The convicted person has been sentenced to compulsory mental health care. The man called AMK and asked for help for a cut on his finger. Health personnel rushed to the apartment, and there they found Westgård dead on the man’s sofa. The convicted person was also charged with having attacked a nurse two months before the murder, when he was admitted to the emergency room on a compulsory basis 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 police attorney informs Adresseavisen that St. Olav’s hospital has been charged with breaching section 4 of the Health Personnel Act, which deals with proper health care. Medication is the subject of the charge. Spets asks the newspaper whether the convict was adequately followed up based on his diagnosis. – The medication is a topic in the charge. With his diagnosis – was the convict adequately followed up?, asks Spets. The court sentenced the man to compulsory mental health care in order to protect society against him. “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. – As the police know the case and the follow-up of the man who was convicted of the murder, we believe that there are grounds for launching an investigation despite the fact that the State Administrator found no reason to criticize after his inspection. We have not ascertained anything about criminal guilt yet, but believe there is reason to look a little more broadly at the case – where we have a good insight through the murder investigation, says Spets to Adresseavisen.
