The man who is being prosecuted for suffocating an elderly woman to death in Strömstad did not suffer from a serious mental disorder at the time of the murder, according to the National Board of Forensic Medicine's statement to the Uddevalla District Court.

This means that there are no obstacles to sentencing the man to prison. I have already stated in my plea that the man should be sentenced to life imprisonment, says Chief Prosecutor Daniel Veivo Pettersson.

The man, who is in his 50s, worked in the municipal home care service in Strömstad and it was during a home visit that the man allegedly suffocated the woman to death.

According to the prosecutor, the man filmed parts of the incident and then shared the film with others in a computer gaming group on the internet.

When the police became aware of the film, the woman's body had already been cremated, under the assumption that it was a natural death. According to his defense attorney, the man denies the murder.

The trial will resume on July 23.
