Psychiatrists OK release of cleared serial killer
The chief medical officer at Sweden's high-security mental hospital Säter has recommended that former mass murder convict Sture Bergwall be offered eased restrictions.
Sture Bergwall was known as Thomas Quick during the time he confessed to more than 20 murders. He was convicted of eight murders but the charges were later revoked, one by one, as he withdrew his detailed but at times contradictory confessions. The prisoner has since fought for his release from the mental institution.
Bergwall should now be given the option of less restrictive forms of therapy, recommended chief medical officer Vladislav Ruchkin at the correctional services institution in central Sweden in an official letter to a local administrative court.
