The 18-year-old man who is suspected of murdering a 17-year-old girl in Mark's municipality suffers from a serious mental disorder, reports Borås Tidning.
This emerges from the forensic psychiatric investigation, which is now complete.
This means that the prosecutor, Nina Friman Björk, will request forensic psychiatric care when the trial continues on Monday.
It is assessed that he committed the acts under the influence of a serious mental disorder, but also that he was suffering from a serious mental disorder at the time of the investigation, she says to BT.
Borås District Court has previously found that the evidence points to the 18-year-old having killed the girl.
The girl disappeared in Mark's municipality in March. She was found dead four days later near her school. The suspected man – who was 17 years old at the time of the suspected crime – was arrested the same day.
