The 37-year-old man killed 8-year-old Mohammad Ammouri “by attacking him from behind with a knife and stabbing him several times in the head, neck, body and right arm,” prosecutor Britt-Louise Viklund writes in the lawsuit. The murder of Anna-Lena Svenson is described in a similar way.
On October 19, 2004, shortly before eight in the morning, Mohammad Ammouri, 8, and Anna-Lena Svenson, 56, were stabbed at Åsgatan in Linköping. They both died from their injuries.

The victims were chosen at random, according to the indictment, and the acts were committed with intent. Seven witnesses are cited to prove this, that it was the 37-year-old man who was the perpetrator, who at 21 had a butterfly knife and a sooty hat.
After the knife attack, the perpetrator threw down the knife and near his hat was found in a kiosk. Police managed to secure the DNA and hair findings that matched each other.
Thousands of police interrogations were carried out and the police outnumbered 6,500 volunteers in order to remove them from the investigation.
But the perpetrator is not found.
Last year, the Swedish police received permission to use genealogists’ DNA databases to find the perpetrator, and the method led to a breakthrough in the Linköping murder case.
June 9 of this year he was arrested a 37-year-old man in his apartment in central Linköping. His DNA matched the police DNA findings. The man already admitted in the first interrogation that he had killed Mohammad Ammouri and Anna-Lena Svenson.
On Wednesday, the 37-year-old was indicted by prosecutor Britt-Louise Viklund, who led the preliminary investigation. She does not want to comment on the accusation until the press conference to be held at 11:15 am at the Linköping police station. The preliminary investigation report, which will be released, contains 2,200 pages. Among other things, there must be several secured evidence that the 37-year-old has shown an interest in the double murder, for example newspaper clippings about it.
During his arrest, the man underwent a major forensic psychiatric examination showing that he was suffering from a serious mental disorder at the time of the murders 16 years ago, and also at the time of the examination. If you are found guilty of the murders, it means that the punishment is most likely not incarceration, but forensic psychiatric care.
