The woman, who is in her 35-year-old, alerted SOS herself in October last year and told that she had killed her mother. When the police arrived at the residence shortly thereafter, the mother was found dead and the daughter was arrested immediately.
In the interrogation, the woman told that she had become angry after a brief argument about some oranges. She then went and fetched an axe, which she immediately used to attack her mother with. Shortly thereafter, she regretted what she had done and chose to alert SOS, according to the interrogation.
According to the judgment in Linköping District Court, the woman has lived completely isolated in recent years and has hardly moved outside the residence. She has practically lacked social contacts beyond her mother, who for a long time had expressed serious concern for her daughter's well-being. The woman has, however, not had any contacts with psychiatry before the murder.
A forensic psychiatric examination conducted after the event shows that the woman suffers from a serious mental disorder and she is sentenced to forensic psychiatric care with special probation.
That my client would be convicted was expected. She has confessed and told what she has done and why she has done it. That it would be forensic psychiatric care was also expected. She accepts the sentence that the district court found suitable, says the woman's lawyer Bengt Ivarsson.
The woman will also have to pay damages to two relatives, totaling approximately 260,000 kronor, for pain and suffering as well as special compensation for relatives.
