The prison guards did not see the alarm go off when the prisoner broke the cell window.
14 hours later they heard a seagull.
Only then did the guards discover the attempted escape.
The 34-year-old is serving a longer prison term in Hallanstalten, on the outskirts of Södertälje.
He has been found guilty of the murder of an unknown man in Norway. The 34-year-old man killed him with 33 stab wounds to the upper body and head.
The sentence has been extended several times since the 34-year-old during his time behind the walls was also convicted, among other things, of vandalism and threats against an official. He has also tried to escape before and has been reported for negligence several times.
“Her hair is flying back”
On the night of May 20 this year, he tried to escape again.
In less than two minutes, the killer managed to break the window of his security cell with a television magnet, according to the investigation of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service.
At 9:07 p.m., the alarm sounded at the institution’s security center.
NN takes no action due to the alarm. NN also does not observe the security unit’s special window alarm, “writes the Swedish Prison and Probation Service in the investigation of the incident.
Later that night, at 9:37 p.m., the guards delivered medication to the prisoners. The Swedish Prison and Probation Service calls it “the second time that staff don’t detect the broken window.”

The next morning and the next day, the ward staff contacted the prisoner several times. On three specific occasions, the Swedish Prison and Probation Service believes that the incident should have been discovered:
-
At 07.02, the morning unlocking was carried out with assistance control. When one of the staff members opened the door to the 34-year-old woman’s cell, she felt cold air blowing through. “It is such a powerful movement that her hair is flying back,” the report read. Later, the prison guards asked him if he had a fan in the room and the prisoner replied that “it is the ventilation that is not working.” They claimed that they “never thought it could be the window” but did notice that there was a blanket hanging from the window.
-
At 11:15 a.m. the cell door was opened and lunch was distributed in the living room. The prison warden reacted to the fact that the prisoner was standing near the door and then he saw the blanket that covered the window.
-
After lunch, when the 34-year-old was re-locked up, he contacted the staff and wanted them to transfer him to an isolation cell. The prison guards spoke to him, among other things, through the door.
“Ten hours at night to escape”
A short time later, an employee in the control room, through the cell’s communication equipment, heard the sound of a seagull and “got a little scared.”
– (The staff) asks the client if it was a seagull that he heard but he says no.
A moment later, the man had dressed up in a homemade “balaclava.” He also claimed that he “did something in his room.”
Another occasion in which internal investigators believe that staff may have discovered the destroyed window was at 12:15 p.m. The killer then had time to walk, and in connection with that a full visit is made.
But the walk was canceled. The killer’s “nervous behavior and desire for isolation” led one of the staff to take a closer look at the circumstances.
The prison guard opened the cell door and felt it “blow from below directly into his face.” He checked with the security center if there had been any alarms before, and only then was the signal from the night before detected.

The 34-year-old prisoner is serving a longer prison term in Hallanstalten, on the outskirts of Södertälje.
In total, it took just over 15 hours from the window being broken until it was discovered.
– Give a potential fugitive just under ten hours a night to complete the escape, the report writes.
“One of the most serious incidents”
The Swedish Prison and Probation Service launched an internal investigation that was completed late last week.
The authority concluded that the incident is one of the most serious in a security unit since 2008. It is also written that it is more serious than the escape from the Sollentuna security prison in 2013. This is because now it was a violent prisoner with access to glass.
The researchers conclude that, among other things, the distribution of drugs in the morning could end at a “critical moment.”
– If it is because the client at this time did not have access to large pieces of glass or was not interested in using them against staff, we do not know.
The employee who lost the alarm at the security center, which the Swedish Prison and Probation Service describes as “very serious”, says in the investigation that she “read too fast” and “was not paying enough attention”.
The Personnel Accountability Committee will now consider whether someone should be disciplined.
