Update: the text has been corrected.
The 28-year-old woman is bloody when passersby find her in the community of Västgötland Hjo. In a large wooden house nearby, the police find a woman and her husband murdered shortly after. It turns out that the 28-year-old’s parents are dead.
In August, murder charges were brought and on Friday, the verdict came in Skaraborg District Court. The woman is sentenced to forensic psychiatric care for the double murder.
– It was quite expected, the verdict agrees with what I demanded, says the prosecutor Jenny Karlsson.
The court writes that the woman has a “complicated relationship with her parents.” When she visited the couple in March, an argument broke out that caused her to take a knife and attack first the mother and then the father.
In a press release, the Skaraborg District Court writes that the court “has classified the act as murder when the violence was extensive and brutal and when the convict had time to reflect during the incident, but did not.”

The ruling establishes that the woman has admitted the real circumstances of the crime although she denies having intended to murder her parents. The question of intent was the only point where the prosecutor and the defense had different opinions, and therefore the court agreed with the prosecutor.
– You have a good memory of the incident, so I think it has been shown that there is awareness of what is happening, says Jenny Karlsson.
He has a long history of poor mental health and has also used drugs at times. She was charged in 2017 with unlawful persecution after an ex-partner reported her for sending a large number of unsolicited text messages, emails and Facebook messages.
That trial was never completed, but the investigation contains several texts showing the 28-year-old’s relationship with his parents.
There the woman writes, who until January of this year had a male identity, who has suffered from mental disorders for much of his life and blames his parents, and especially his mother, for the problems.
During police questioning, relatives of the couple say the 28-year-old behaved in a threatening manner for a time.
The woman is also convicted of vandalizing furniture and belongings in the Mariestad detention center and for minor drug-related offenses.
The lawyer for the convicted woman tells DN that he does not want to comment on the verdict.
Correction: In an earlier version of the text, it was incorrectly stated that the convict showed the police the way to the crime scene.
