It was in May 2025 that an elderly couple, a man and a woman in their 70s, were found dead at their home by a relative.

The perpetrator has been found guilty by the court. A forensic psychiatric examination has shown that he does not suffer from a serious mental disorder.

According to the verdict, he broke into the home at night while the couple was sleeping and attacked them with a fire extinguisher. The man states that he has no memory of the incident. He had no relationship with the victims.

The man has claimed that he was involuntarily drugged, but this was dismissed by the Helsingborg District Court. He must also pay damages to the couple's relatives.
