In the early morning of October 19, 2004, Mohamad Ammouri, 8, and Anna-Lena Svenson, 56, were stabbed to death on an open street in Linköping.
Despite a massive police investigation, the incident remained unsolved for nearly 16 years.
Last summer, the police announced that they had arrested a man suspected of the double murder. Daniel Nyqvist, 37, compared the perpetrator’s DNA profile to 100 percent and admitted on first questioning.
The trial against Nyqvist was recently concluded and on Thursday the Linköping District Court announced its verdict in the case.
Nyqvist is convicted of murder in two cases. It is delivered for forensic psychiatric care.
Severe mental disorder
During the investigation, Nyqvist has been subjected to a forensic psychiatric examination that resulted in a serious mental disorder in the double murder, both in the 2004 act and today. This conclusion opened the door for Nyqvist to be turned over to forensic psychiatry instead of being sentenced to prison.
Police or prosecutors have been unable to find any motive. In police questioning, Nyqvist has said that he “had” to murder two people to keep him calm. He had no connection to Mohamad or Anna-Lena. According to Nyqvist, he attacked Mohamad because he was so small that he could not defend himself.
He lived in isolation after the double murder.
After the murder, Daniel Nyqvist lived a very isolated life until his arrest, preferably in front of the computer in his extremely spartanly furnished apartment in central Linköping.
Nyqvist’s brother has described him as a “very lonely person” who does not like being with other people and who withdraws from crowds.
Nyqvist’s mobile phone provides a picture of isolation. It contained only occasional greetings from family members in connection with the holidays, as well as some occasional contacts with people with whom I worked for short periods.
