The 36-year-old man is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. He was psychotic when he shot and killed his father Tor Kjærvik (70), and he has been psychotic for several years, according to forensic psychiatric experts. It reports Avisa Oslo (TO).
In addition to killing his own father in his home on Røa in Oslo on April 12, the son is also charged with attempted murder of his father’s cohabitant.
The man’s defender, lawyer John Christian Elden, confirms AO’s information to NTB.
– I have no comment on the report now, but assume that it is used as a basis in the further investigation and case decision, says Elden.
The report is completely recent and has not yet been processed by the Forensic Medicine Commission. The commission’s task is to ensure the quality of forensic medical statements and statements from experts in criminal cases.
The question of the man’s sanity when he trooped up outside Kjærvik’s home quickly became a topic in the investigation. In connection with the police’s requests for extended custody, it has become increasingly clear that in a main hearing it must be a question of whether the man can be punished and whether a claim for a sentence of compulsory mental health care should be filed.
