On Tuesday morning, the relatives of Mohammed Ammouris and Anna-Lena Svenson met Daniel Nyqvist in the security room of the Linköping District Court. He is charged with the notorious double murder in Linköping almost 16 years ago.
Daniel Nyqvist has stated in police questioning that he was driven by obsessive thoughts about killing and that they could only be relieved by living.
The National Board of Forensic Medicine (RMV) has stated in a statement that Daniel Nyqvist suffers from a serious mental disorder and that he also suffered from it at the time of the murders.
In the courtroom, prosecutor Britt-Louise Viklund demanded that Daniel Nyqvist be convicted of murder. But the defendant denies it and refers to the forensic psychiatric examination.
– My client’s severe mental disorder means that the act should be classified as a homicide, says Johan Ritzer, Nyqvist’s defender when the trial for the double murder began Tuesday morning.
Given that the murders took place in 2004, four years before a change in the law that meant the sentence can be imprisonment even if there is a mental disorder, only forensic psychiatric care can be relevant if convicted.
During the prosecution’s presentation of the case, Daniel Nyqvist kept his gaze fixed on the table. He was the only one who did not look at the presentation of the case by the prosecutor. However, he looked at the judge when she called out his name.
Mohammed Ammouri’s parents cried when the prosecutor went through the eight-year-old boy’s brutal injuries. When photographs of the victims’ clothing were to be shown, they chose to exit the hall. When photographs of the victims are to be shown, the judge decides that it should be done in front of closed doors.
