Man charged with killing teenage girl in Malmö traffic crash after psychiatric hospital visit

A 39-year-old man is being charged with killing a teenage girl in traffic in Malmö. On the same day, he had visited the psychiatric hospital but was not admitted and left voluntarily, his defense lawyer told Sydsvenskan.

He handed over his driver's license to them, lawyer Sanna Herlin told the newspaper.

The man has stated that he experienced psychosis. He first sat in a waiting room, but left the hospital because he saw someone he did not get along with, he said.

The man is charged with aggravated manslaughter and gross negligence in traffic.

He has undergone a Section 7 examination, which shows that a serious mental disorder can be suspected, both when he was examined and at the time of the crime.
