The elderly woman died in November last year. Parts of the murder, according to the prosecutor, were filmed and spread by the man in a computer game group. It was also how the police became aware of the incident. By then, the woman had already been cremated, under the assumption that the death was natural.

The man has undergone a forensic psychiatric examination, which shows that he did not suffer from a serious mental disorder. When the trial ended at Uddevalla District Court, prosecutor Daniel Veivo Pettersson demanded that he be sentenced to the harshest punishment under the law.

Considering the severity of the crime and how it was committed, it is life imprisonment, said Daniel Veivo Pettersson when the trial ended.

The incident has evoked strong emotions in Strömstad.

It is an extremely heinous crime that the indictment concerns. We are thinking a lot about the relatives and it has evoked many emotions and thoughts in our staff group, said Helena Lilliebjelke, social manager in Strömstad Municipality, previously told TT.

The defendant is detained pending sentencing. He denies the murder.
