The accused in the Swedish freezer case is not mentally ill – Latest news – news

8 June 2023 at 13:13 The accused in the Swedish freezer case is not mentally ill The Norwegian man in his 50s who is charged with murder and desecration of his roommate in Värmland in Sweden, has no serious mental disorders. The local newspaper Nya Wermlands-Tidningen writes that the man has undergone a forensic psychiatric examination lasting several weeks. The conclusion is that he did not have any mental illness at the time the murder is suspected to have occurred, nor does he have it today. Thus, he can be sentenced to prison. In March, the Norwegian man’s roommate, a Norwegian woman in her 60s, was found in a freezer in a house outside Årjäng, just over two miles from the Norwegian border. The man is charged with murder and desecration of a corpse, and the prosecution suspects that the murder happened in early 2018. He admits to having put the woman in the freezer, but not to have killed her. (NTB)
