“It is connected to the fact that the court considers the danger of a new and serious breach of integrity to be imminent”, the sentence reads.
Furthermore, it appears from the judgment that the court considers that the sentenced person was in a state of mind that made him insane at the time of the murder.
The emphasis is also placed on the fact that the man committed serious violations of integrity contrary to the law after only three months, and that the events occurred despite the man undergoing mental health treatment.
He pleaded not guilty
Last May Stig Ola Westgård (56) bled to death after several stab wounds. The murder took place in a communal apartment in Lademoen in Trondheim.
After the stabbing, a large part of Westgård’s body was severely mistreated.
On May 15 last year, the convict called AMK and asked for help with a cut on his finger. The medical staff rushed to the apartment and there they found Westgård dead on the man’s sofa.
The convict was also accused of assaulting a nurse two months before the murder, when he was forced to the emergency room at the St. Olav hospital in Østmarka in Trondheim.
The inmates have always denied criminal guilt for all charges. The man was not previously punished for violence.
The dead person was found on this sofa in the apartment of the now condemned man.

He is and was psychotic and has had several psychiatric admissions. The man has been hospitalized in a psychiatric institution since the murder last year.
The inmates were diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and alcohol addiction.
The defender believes that the health system has failed
The convict himself explained that he woke up in his living room on the morning of May 15 and that Westgård lay dead next to him under a blanket.
Experts said during the trial that the convict misinterprets even simple things and that his life is threatened. The man explained that it was Putin he killed when he was arrested in the apartment.
During the trial, it also emerged that the man often did not take medication for psychosis after being discharged from Østmarka.
Two weeks ago, the prosecutor filed a complaint that the man was to be sentenced to mandatory mental health care for the May murder, the desecration of the body and the violence against a nurse three months before the murder.
Domfelte’s defender, Kolbjørn Lium, said the man must be acquitted because he is not sane and that he must receive treatment.
The defender also said in court that he believed the health system had failed to treat the man.
