A 26-year-old man believed his former classmate was a Russian agent.
He attacked her with a knife and killed her mother in their home.
He is now charged with murder and attempted murder.
On February 11, the police were called to an apartment in Örebro. A woman and her 25-year-old daughter had been very badly stabbed in an apartment.
The mother, who was in her 50s, died from her injuries. Now a 26-year-old man is charged with murder and attempted murder of the two women.
During interrogation, the daughter explained that she was at her mother's house when suddenly someone pulled the letterbox. She recognized the 26-year-old from school, and thought it was strange that he was there.
When she opened the door, they both realized that they recognized each other. According to the daughter, the situation became tense, and the mother came to the door, then told them that she was going to call the police.
- In connection with that, they want to close the door. Then he prevents them from closing the door. He took out a knife that he had with him, and started attacking and slashing at them, says prosecutor Anders Persson.
When they want to close the door, he stopped them. Instead, the 26-year-old attacked with a knife. Her mother died from her injuries.
The 26-year-old thought she was a Russian agent
But the 26-year-old has a different story.
- He meant that the daughter is part of a network with Russian agents who persecuted and harassed him for some time, says prosecutor Anders Persson.
The man himself has said that he wanted to go there and talk to the daughter, with whom he also attended the same class.
- And he wants to talk to her about that and wants them to leave him alone. That is why he is there, says prosecutor Anders Persson.
According to him, he knocked, the daughter opened, and then the mother came out armed with a knife, and attacked him.
But the prosecutor is not buying his story - there is no evidence that anyone attacked him or that the mother and daughter were agents of any kind.
- Given that he is judged to be seriously mentally disturbed and to have delusions, my opinion is that his description of this may not be quite consistent with how it actually is.
The state of evidence for a conviction looks good, according to the prosecutor. Among other things, the knife he used comes from another apartment.
A bloody note was also left at the crime scene.
"She was a Russian agent. Slava Ukraini!"
The 26-year-old admitted that he had written it during interrogation. He claims that he brought the note with him so that people would understand that those who possibly murdered him were Russian agents.
In addition, there is a film that captured parts of the sequence of events, and also the knife and traces of blood tie the 26-year-old to the scene.
The man has admitted that he has hurt the women, but believes that he should not bear criminal responsibility.
