“The attacks were brutal and without any provocation,” the district court wrote in its reasoning. The fact that Daniel Nyqvist suffered at that time from a serious mental disorder, seeing a kind of inner image that made him “forced” to kill, does not prevent the court from considering the circumstances as “so serious that the facts must be judged as murder”.
– I support the fact that there has been a place for the murder, but now the district court has seen it differently. The important thing was that it became forensic psychiatric care as a sanction and based on my client’s wish, I am satisfied. If something needs to be appealed, I can’t leave a message about it now. Today I will talk to my client about this, says attorney Johan Ritzer.
Daniel Nyqvist, 37, has admitted that he killed Anna-Lena Svenson, 56, and Mohammad Ammouri, 8, in Linköping on 19 October. Both the defense and the prosecution have demanded forensic psychiatric care.
Ammouri’s parents will also receive 100,000 SEK in damages from Nyqvist, with interest from the day of the murder, and her brothers will receive 50,000 SEK each, except for sister Anna-Lena, who was born after the murders. Svenson’s relatives have not claimed damages. Damages to the state have been set at just over 1.4 million SEK.
Mohammad Ammouri som He was heading to the school and language teacher Anna-Lena Svenson, who first became a witness and then the victims were beaten with violent force and many times by Daniel Nyqvist, then 21 years old.
During the trial in mid-September, Daniel Nyqvist said that he had murdered to have peace of mind and to be able to sleep. Although prosecutors Britt-Louise Viklund and Ritzer agree with the penalty, they are not on the criminal classification.
Johan Ritzer means that his client would be convicted of involuntary manslaughter as there were no plans for the double murder. The defender believes that Nyqvist suffered from a serious mental disorder that can be compared to a psychotic.
However, Britt-Louise Viklund has said that any classification other than murder is not relevant. Instead, she pointed to aggravating circumstances in her guilty plea to the district court.
The prosecutor believes that Daniel Nyqvist had planned ahead and brought a weapon to carry out the crime. He also chose a child to make it easier to implement.
– Furthermore, the violence was very extensive and severe, and the victims who were physically inferior to Nyqvist must have experienced great suffering, said Britt-Louise Viklund during the trial.
