Today, Mijailo Mijailovic was found
guilty by Stockholms district court, for the murder of Anna Lindh.
His sentence will be settled within 4-5 weeks after his forensic psychiatry examination is done. It is to determine if he is healthy enough to be sent to prison, or if he should be sent to a hospital.
But that seems unlikely since he did not behave as a sick person right after the attack, he discarded evidence and tried to burn his clothes, he spoke to a taxi driver right after the attack and spoke of women etc. Does not sound like a person who has just heard Jesus ( :rolleyes: ) voice, now does it?
Most people "in the know" are pretty sure he will get a prison sentence.

Sorry, missed your post.
Maximum sentence is life in prison.. that means there is no real timeframe of the sentence. The least amount of time you must sit is 15 years though. Usually they get probation after 20 years.
The longest someone that I know of has served, is 25 years (and counting).
The death penalty was banned in 1921 (last man was executed in 1910), and in 1972 it was even banned for wartime (execution of soldiers etc).
