39-year-old is sentenced to grossly causing the death of another person after being hit

The 39-year-old man is sentenced for grossly causing the death of another, gross negligence in traffic and causing bodily harm. The girl must have had the green light at the crosswalk when the collision occurred. He must have been driving at a very high speed.

Has a serious mental disorder

A major forensic psychiatric examination has shown that the man suffers from a serious mental disorder. The man himself wants to escape punishment because of this, he believes that he was in an active state of psychosis when it all happened. He is said to have sought help in the psychiatric ward on the same day that the collision took place.

"Even if the man was in a psychotic state at the time of the acts, he was sufficiently aware of his actions and the great risks to the lives of others that it entailed," former councilor Marija Pejic writes regarding the verdict in a press release.

The 39-year-old must also pay damages to the deceased girl's relatives of over SEK 400,000. He is also convicted of five counts of threatening an official.
