A patient in a Swedish mental hospital in the southern city of Hessleholm escaped to freedom. On September 13, The Local reports.
The self-proclaimed "witch hunter" took advantage of the fact that the hospital staff allowed him 15-minute walks, and broke free. Police speculate that he went to the Malmö area to find his ex-wife, who lives under a different name.
It was in Malmö that he was detained last fall near his brother-in-law's house. In February 2016, he was sentenced to compulsory treatment - the 38-year-old man admitted that he planned to kidnap, tie, behead and burn a relative. On his computer, the police found a list of 56 people whom the maniac chose as victims.
At the trial, he said that he was a witch hunt and that he was supported by the country's special services. “I am the judge of the Lord. My finger points to the guilty one,”he explained.
In 2015, he was already convicted of attacking his ex-wife and their common son. He accused the woman of witchcraft - according to him, the wife sent diabetes to relatives and provoked miscarriages.
