After months of legal wrangling, the Swedish Supreme Court today overturned an appeals court ruling and said the convicted and confessed killer of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh will serve his sentence in prison.
The decision by the five-judge panel overturned an appeals court ruling earlier this year that said Mijailo Mijailovic would be confined to a mental hospital for the September 2003 stabbing death of Lindh.
The Supreme Court’s decision is final, and there is no avenue for more appeals.
Mikael Nilsson, Mijailovic’s lawyer, said he would try to have his client transferred to Serbia-Montenegro to serve out his sentence.
“He will try to be transferred away from Sweden and serve his sentence there,” he said.
