The 15-year-old who killed was seriously mentally ill, according to new experts

Social worker Anna Kristin Gillebo Backlund was killed by a 15-year-old girl in 2014. The girl was sentenced to detention. Now experts state that the 15-year-old was paranoid schizophrenic already as an 11-year-old, but that it was not discovered.

At the institution “Two small units”, the night watchman was alone with the client of 15 years. Well, psychiatrists believe that those convicted of murder were paranoid schizophrenics.

The murder took place at an institution where the girl lived and the social worker worked. As the first child in Norway, the 15-year-old was sentenced to detention – for nine years.

The nine years have now passed. And soon the case will be up in the Resumption Commission. Both the prosecution and the defense want a new round in court. Therefore, the court appointed two new experts.
