Forensic psychiatric examination: rape suspect at Ribban has serious mental disorder
The 37-year-old man suspected of raping a jogger at Ribban in Malmö suffers from a serious mental disorder – both at the time of the attack and at the current assessment. This emerges from a forensic psychiatric examination, according to Aftonbladet.
The investigation now recommends compulsory psychiatric care for the man.
The attack took place on a July evening along the jogging path at Ribban. The woman was running along the seafront when the man attacked her from behind. She struggled for over ten minutes to break free – by hitting, kicking, screaming and writhing.
A family in a campervan and another man heard her screams and called the police, who arrested the perpetrator at the scene. During questioning, the man stated that he only wanted to give her love.
The trial will resume on 12 November.
