(Local) A 22-year-old man who is accused of stabbing seven people in the southern Swedish town of Vetlanda is set to face trial.
The man was arrested shortly after the attacks, which took place on five different locations close to Vetlanda’s railway station in the afternoon of March 3rd.
At least two of the male victims were stabbed several times, according to the charge sheet. Four received life-threatening injuries, reports the TT newswire, but none of the injuries were fatal. The seven men were aged between around 35 and 75.
A psychiatric evaluation carried out ahead of the trial showed that the man may have been suffering from serious mental illness at the time of the stabbing, and it is likely that he is going to have to undergo a more thorough psychiatric examination as part of the court process.
