1
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,560
I came in contact with a woman there
and we got talking.
2
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,560
She was speaking about God and Jesus.
3
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,880
Suddenly, she says,
"This never would have happened
4
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,960
if the Bride of Christ was here."
5
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,200
So I said,
"Really? Where is she, then?"
6
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,280
And she answers,
"The Bride of Christ is in London."
7
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,960
"But what would she do
if she was here in Knutby?"
8
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,400
She says, "She lives over there." And
she points to a house further down.
9
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,080
We're rolling. Yes.
10
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,800
-We're in London right now.
-I'm zooming in.
11
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:11,160
In Kingsway Hall, on Queen Street.
We're at the hotel.
12
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:15,440
Peter Gembäck phones and says
13
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,600
that Alexandra has been shot
and Daniel has been shot.
14
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,440
So now anything could happen.
15
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,960
Is there someone here in London
that might shoot Åsa?
16
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,960
I remember that day, I was...
I was paranoid.
17
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,520
I was absolutely terrified
of everything.
18
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,600
I suspected that everything
was some kind of plot
19
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:45,080
or that there might be someone
that would shoot Åsa,
20
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,000
or something like that.
21
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:56,320
I told myself I needed to say calm.
I needed to think rationally.
22
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,680
We believed that Åsa would die.
But Alexandra? It was the wrong sister.
23
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,080
It's not...
The whole thing is so twisted.
24
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,960
Åsa was going to be with Jesus.
That was our top priority.
25
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,800
-Emergency 112. How may I help you?
-I don't know.
26
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,120
I just came in.
There's blood everywhere.
27
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,280
In Knutby.
28
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,840
Shock and despair spread
throughout the little town of Knutby.
29
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,360
The murder of a young woman and
the attempted murder of her neighbor
30
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,280
is in stark contrast
to this quiet, peaceful community.
31
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,560
It's one of the most bizarre criminal
cases in Sweden in modern time.
32
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,920
A web of religion,
sex and cruel, callous murder
33
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,160
unprecedented in the judicial history
of Sweden.
34
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,720
Who is the driving force
behind all of this?
35
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,600
It's an important piece of evidence
that has been manipulated.
36
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,760
It plants seeds of doubt
among the public.
37
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,120
Is this what actually happened?
38
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,960
This is a difficult time,
but we believe in God.
39
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,280
We're here for one another.
We're not giving up.
40
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,720
The murder trial of the pastor
and the nanny began this morning.
41
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,080
The nanny confessed to the murder
of the pastor's wife.
42
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,600
Together with strong
forensic evidence,
43
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:00,120
prosecutors have decided to charge her
with murder and attempted murder.
44
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,840
Prosecutors say the pastor
incited her to murder
45
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,680
and are therefore charging him
with instigating murder in both cases.
46
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,040
-What sentence will you demand?
-A life sentence.
47
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,680
The fact is,
this case is about murder.
48
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:21,120
It concerns the defendants,
Sara Svensson and Helge Fossmo.
49
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:24,360
Whether or not
the congregation in Knutby
50
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,640
is a hierarchical sect
that brainwashes its members,
51
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,280
or if Åsa Waldau believes
she's the Bride of Christ
52
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:38,800
are issues that I think have little
to do with the crimes committed.
53
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,760
The police and prosecutor know
54
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,560
that Åsa Waldau is known
as the Bride of Christ.
55
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,560
It is not known exactly
how much power she has.
56
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,720
But she is a central figure.
Leif Spånbo knows this.
57
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,200
He wants to interview her,
but isn't given the opportunity.
58
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,760
-I didn't realize that.
-Neither did I.
59
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,400
A high-ranking policeman
in this investigation,
60
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,200
at the top level, that they're at odds
61
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,360
as to how this investigation
should be conducted.
62
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,800
Did you take any other action
as regards the Bride of Christ?
63
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:21,720
No, she was interviewed once more.
We wanted to know
64
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:27,480
who drove them to Arlanda Airport
on January 8
65
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,400
when they were flying to London.
66
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,200
Even though you knew
that this might be a sect
67
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:38,160
you let the matter rest?
Åsa's telephone wasn't tapped...
68
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,960
No, she was not suspected
of any crime.
69
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,160
God comes to us through our salvation
and when we're free from sin,
70
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,920
but God can't give us everything
that He wants to give us
71
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:59,920
unless we give ourselves to the Lord.
Cleanse...
72
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,160
I'll read from the Book of Isaiah 58.
73
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,480
When did the Knutby story begin,
as you see it?
74
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:12,000
It starts when Kim Wincent
and Per-Arne Waldau
75
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,920
travel to Uppsala
and bring Åsa Waldau to Knutby.
76
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,720
Why do you think it starts there?
77
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,680
Because prior to that it was just
an ordinary Pentecostal congregation.
78
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:30,120
But after that it began to change
and became something else,
79
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:34,480
that is the Knutby sect
that we know today.
80
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,760
Rigmor Robért,
you meet a lot of people
81
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,560
with connections
to the Knutby congregation.
82
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,120
How did you come in contact
with these people?
83
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:01,920
I wrote an article that was published
on Holy Thursday, 2004,
84
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,400
a few months after the murder
and attempted murder.
85
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,200
After that article was published,
relatives contacted me.
86
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:18,360
The staff at the Knutby school
and former members contacted me
87
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,560
and they all said the same thing.
88
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:26,480
"What you're saying is something
that we recognize from inside."
89
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,800
I had understood something
about Åsa Waldau
90
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,280
as regards her personality.
91
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,720
This dream of marrying Jesus
92
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,920
and the position of importance
it gave her in the congregation.
93
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,560
She outwardly denied things
94
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,600
that members
of the congregation had to cover up
95
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:55,040
so they became part
of these double standards.
96
00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:01,720
This went on right up to 2016
when the congregation was dissolved.
97
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,600
First of all, I believe
that God speaks through me
98
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,680
in order to help others.
99
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,280
It's not like I'm saying,
"God is speaking."
100
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,400
If a person is in need,
101
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,120
I think that God very often speaks
and that can be...
102
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,560
I very seldom use the phrase,
"So says the Lord"
103
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,120
but I know when God wants
to say something to a person.
104
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,400
He wants to say, "You need this."
105
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:39,240
Or "This is the path,"
or what's right and wrong.
106
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,080
If I speak God's words,
I'm not expecting,
107
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,520
"Oh, how great you are!
You speak God's words."
108
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:52,160
I'm just happy to receive a message
from God, that I understand God.
109
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:06,200
She was a colorful character.
Her teachings were challenging
110
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,200
in a way I hadn't experienced before.
111
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,920
She gave the impression that
she knew what she was talking about.
112
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,560
There was never any doubt
in what she had to say.
113
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,800
A person who reaches the point,
"I do not need to be corrected,"
114
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,960
is actually at a point
where they need to be corrected.
115
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,280
It was really inspiring,
116
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,200
that God was so close every day.
117
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,640
It wasn't just on Sundays,
He was there every day, all the time.
118
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:49,600
And everyone wanted to live
as purely and holy as possible.
119
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,080
I do not demand
that anyone does what I say,
120
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,960
but I expect them to,
and sure, it's tough.
121
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,600
If you say that you believe,
then I expect you to be true to that.
122
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,040
She talks a lot about
what she calls purity.
123
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,080
What's wrong, what's right
and how to live our lives.
124
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,800
That was very much her hallmark.
125
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,440
If you see something in yourself
that's wrong,
126
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,400
then you should deal with it or...
things like that.
127
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:34,000
I believe that love is to say,
"That's not the way to live your life."
128
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,160
I do not demand
that anyone should change.
129
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,840
But if I see that someone is taking
the wrong path for some reason,
130
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,960
then I don't mince my words
and I'm not afraid to do that.
131
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,160
When I look back,
there's one thing that I realize today.
132
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,000
It was a warning signal back then.
133
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:58,240
I remember when we were standing
in the chapel kitchen.
134
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,520
She looked me straight in the eye
and said,
135
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:04,040
"If you move here it will be for life."
136
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,440
I didn't take it seriously
at the time,
137
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,120
but I thought about it afterwards.
She told me then.
138
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,880
And she meant it.
139
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,240
"In the depth of my being, my love
for you was born, beautiful and pure.
140
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,440
You look at me and I surrender.
When I close my eyes you are there.
141
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:32,160
A queen's glory. Beautiful all through.
Created to be by my side always."
142
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,720
Has she written this down as if
Jesus said these words to her?
143
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,000
Yes, but it's a prophecy.
This is what awaits her.
144
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,360
Åsa says that Jesus
has started calling her Tirsa.
145
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,360
It says here, "Tirsa, you are
the loveliest in creation."
146
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,120
"Do not fear.
I have everything in my hand."
147
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,400
"Would I let you go? Never."
148
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:57,960
Then this goes on into something
of a more sexual nature.
149
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,840
Then Åsa starts describing
what Jesus will do with her
150
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,320
when they meet, that is.
151
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,480
"I long to touch you
and satisfy your desires.
152
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,800
I want to make love to you,
give you the love you deserve."
153
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,640
I want to caress you gently.
154
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,480
You will reach a much
higher level of pleasure.
155
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,840
It is, in truth,
a splendorous cascade."
156
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:28,080
-This term, Bride of Christ.
-Yes... Sorry.
157
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,480
Well, you may laugh,
but there are many who say
158
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,760
that you are the one that coined
that phrase concerning Åsa.
159
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,040
No, however I'm the one
who was responsible for teaching
160
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,880
that the congregation
is not the Bride of Jesus.
161
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,760
This is what is very...
162
00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:00,160
Was it the spring of '99?
Helge asks us to come by.
163
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,920
He wanted to share something
that God had revealed to him.
164
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,240
Before we even got there,
we had this feeling,
165
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,640
"We're going to experience
something special. What can it be?"
166
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,080
So he started by telling us
that everyone is loved by God.
167
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,720
God loves every individual, 100%.
168
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:26,760
But God has favorites.
169
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,360
There are people
that he loves more than others.
170
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,880
And after he held
this 45-60 minute briefing,
171
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,000
he explained
that God had revealed to him
172
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,080
that Åsa was elected
for something special.
173
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,600
We didn't know what.
We just know that this was so.
174
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,520
And then we were sent home,
more or less
175
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:54,960
to pray for this, to ask God
and wait and see.
176
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:03,800
And we will find out
what is true and what is false.
177
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,400
My only prayer
178
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:11,360
is that in this message
we have received
179
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:17,400
it will become visible to us
who God is.
180
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:24,920
And then I'll be happy when I see
how we stand before Him.
181
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,640
And love him.
182
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,560
There are interpretations
in the Bible
183
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,280
that suggest that
the Bride is a human being.
184
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,720
That she existed,
that she would come and so on.
185
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,920
Not all traditional Christianity
says that it's a congregation.
186
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,960
And the Bible
definitely doesn't say that.
187
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,840
I think it started when I felt
that I would like to buy a ring
188
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,800
that would serve as a sign for myself
189
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,360
that I promised to be faithful to God.
190
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:10,880
I remember that I said
it would be like an engagement.
191
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,600
I hope that I'm not terribly wrong
when I say
192
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,720
that I think
I actually bought that ring.
193
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,600
That was when I, before God,
194
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:28,960
have this moment of...
a confirmation of what I believed.
195
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,960
The ring represents a covenant
with God and Helge is with me.
196
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,160
It's, "Holy cow, the congregation
is the Bride of Christ".
197
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:43,160
The accepted norm within
the Pentecostal movement
198
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:48,240
is that the congregation
is the Bride of Christ.
199
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,840
And that's not strange,
because Paul says,
200
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,960
"I have betrothed you
as a virgin with Christ."
201
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,200
So what Paul says is,
the congregation is a bride.
202
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:09,600
But Helge gets stuck into Psalm 45.
203
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:15,640
And Psalm 45 has a huge impact
on the whole Knutby situation.
204
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,080
It doesn't say congregation in
the Bible. That's an interpretation.
205
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,960
And then it's described as a wedding
206
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:28,600
between what is very clearly Jesus
and a bride.
207
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,160
I've had one theory
and it's the classical one
208
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,680
that the congregation is the bride,
209
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,720
but we discovered
that this was not the case.
210
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,400
She gave Helge Fossmo the task
211
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,520
of finding out everything
about the bride.
212
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,640
And Helge Fossmo
was very compliant.
213
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,880
They were very close at that time.
214
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,240
He understood what she wanted
and he had this trait
215
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,920
in their relationship,
he wanted to make her happy.
216
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,240
"Yes, maybe that's it!"
This amazement.
217
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,000
So they had this very
special and strange
218
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,920
and actually unhappy,
closeness to each other.
219
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,560
The truth is,
we are not the Bride of Jesus.
220
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,280
Jesus is not going to marry
millions of men and women.
221
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,040
We are wedding guests at a wedding.
222
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,200
Well, maybe Jesus is going to marry.
223
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:39,960
Maybe there is a queen.
Maybe there is a physical person.
224
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:44,440
And as far as we know
this is what he said to Åsa.
225
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,960
"If the bride is a human being
then it must be you."
226
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:52,440
I don't think Åsa Waldau would
have ended up where she is
227
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,680
if she didn't have Helge Fossmo
by her side.
228
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,400
And I don't think that Helge Fossmo
would have ended up where he is
229
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,360
if he hadn't met Åsa Waldau.
230
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:11,920
They were like pouring petrol on a fire
for each other, I think.
231
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,800
UPPSALA DISTRICT COURT
232
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,880
Take it easy.
233
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,400
The court was shown
a crime reconstruction video
234
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,960
of how the nanny
shot her victims in Knutby.
235
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:40,120
This caused the nanny to break down
and leave the courtroom in tears.
236
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:45,520
I go inside and close
the door carefully,
237
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:51,400
but leave it open just a little bit.
238
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,560
I don't close the door fully.
239
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,440
And in my pocket I've got...
240
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:03,240
I have four extra bullets.
241
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,880
I've also got my asthma inhaler
and a torch.
242
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:15,040
I have my mobile phone. I have
my galoshes that I left outside
243
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,160
and I've got extra gloves.
244
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,640
I hold the revolver in my left hand.
245
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,080
My right hand is free.
246
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:33,920
When I come into the utility room,
I listen to see if it's quiet.
247
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,800
And then I walk slowly...
248
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,440
towards the utility room door
that was closed.
249
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,000
I open it slowly and quietly.
250
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,840
Everyone likes Sara.
251
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,360
She's a really charming, funny,
intelligent and forward girl.
252
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,800
And she's very... How do I put it?
253
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,360
She's very eager to please.
254
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,040
She's always willing to help
and she's very caring.
255
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:10,160
It must have been
around 2000, 2001,
256
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,080
Sara is given a more prominent role.
257
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,720
Not in the congregation,
I wouldn't say that,
258
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,960
but in relation to Åsa
and Helge especially.
259
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,440
She becomes a person
that somehow...
260
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,360
I won't say she swallows it,
261
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,080
but she takes this Bride
of Christ idea very seriously
262
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,640
and takes a strong position
on it in relation to Åsa.
263
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,680
Which means that she's given a role
264
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,520
that places her close
to Åsa and Helge.
265
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,120
Helge has...
Ever since I moved there,
266
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,280
he has been very spiritual,
if I can put it that way.
267
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,280
Spectacular things happen around him.
268
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:03,440
And he took on this role
like a warrior in battle.
269
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:09,080
A battle for...
If Åsa really is the Bride of Christ,
270
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,760
if there are people for this
there will be forces against it.
271
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,760
If this is what perfects creation
272
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,040
that Jesus gets his woman,
then the Devil's spiritual power
273
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,960
will get in the way of her
reaching her destination.
274
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:35,520
And Sara joined him in that quest.
275
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,680
This is all positive at first,
276
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,720
but slowly and surely...
You get the feeling
277
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,200
that Sara overtakes Åsa
at one stage.
278
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,600
Åsa is very happy
that Sara and Helge pray
279
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,640
and embark on a spiritual quest
for Åsa.
280
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,480
But soon it's not about Åsa anymore.
281
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,720
Helge is saying it's about
something more important.
282
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,760
Åsa becomes jealous.
If there's one thing you should avoid,
283
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,000
it's making Åsa jealous.
284
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,440
If she gets jealous...
the gates of hell open.
285
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,040
All of a sudden
Sara became wrong.
286
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,520
Åsa says that she is wrong.
287
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,520
She has become a temptress.
288
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,760
She's no longer the person
she used to be.
289
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,560
Åsa created a theology on this.
290
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,880
Prior to this, Sara had been
a support for Helge.
291
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,480
But now Sara was a temptation
that Helge would have to overcome.
292
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,320
Sara fell into disfavor with Åsa.
293
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:48,920
Falling into disfavor with Åsa means
everyone else turns against you too.
294
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,480
Everyone else did the same.
We turned our backs on Sara.
295
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,760
She was with Helge.
He was good for her.
296
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,480
He took care of her
and anyway, she was wrong.
297
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,040
So we were active in creating
298
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,760
this void that she ended up in,
together with Helge.
299
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,720
That's when I think
she really fell apart
300
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,960
and everyone was against her.
301
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,320
GOD I BEG FOR MERCY!
302
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,320
MERCY!
303
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,680
Regarding the Bride...
we're waiting for the return of Jesus.
304
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,520
We believe that the world
will end one day.
305
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,640
I wish that I could say otherwise,
but I believe that.
306
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,720
I wish that everyone would believe
that too. That's all that I long for.
307
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,400
We're living in the last time.
Our time here is soon over.
308
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,600
Jesus will return.
309
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,920
If you have lost your way, if you're
on the wrong side of the person,
310
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:07,160
who's entering a union with Him,
you're pretty much finished.
311
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,800
This means that you are lost
when your time here is over.
312
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,320
You don't have much time left
to change.
313
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480
What happens if it's too late?
314
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,960
You've completely missed the point.
You'll end up in hell.
315
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:24,800
I mean it when I say that it was
a matter of life and death.
316
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,880
You want to go to heaven.
That was the whole objective.
317
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,520
Åsa Waldau didn't say in court
that she was the Bride of Christ.
318
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,480
Neither did she say what her role was.
319
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,560
The police and prosecutor
don't seem interested.
320
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,400
They say it has nothing to do with it.
321
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,080
But on the other hand,
it's not surprising,
322
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,400
because this is
all pretty complicated,
323
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,120
but it's possible to grasp
at the trial.
324
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,720
Helge Fossmo conspired
to murder his wife
325
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,800
and his mistress's husband.
He got Sara Svensson to shoot them.
326
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,440
Åsa Waldau's sister Alexandra
is found murdered.
327
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,280
And she's actually in London.
328
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,240
As for the police and prosecutor,
she's a victim with an alibi.
329
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,520
Absolutely,
but even if she was in London,
330
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,760
she's always here.
331
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,680
The leader of the congregation.
Bride of Christ.
332
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,120
She's the most important person
on earth for all of these people.
333
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,320
Every waking second,
every breath they take, is for her.
334
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,360
She permeates everything.
335
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,640
Åsa Waldau's power relationship
336
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,720
over Sara Svensson
hasn't been investigated.
337
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,040
And Åsa is still Sara's leader.
338
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,680
-But this power relationship?
-That has been investigated.
339
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,680
They came a long way with that.
340
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,840
Text messages, interviews,
phone calls.
341
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,200
There are police interviews
with these people
342
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:14,800
where they touch upon
the Bride of Christ,
343
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,200
but where all but one person is lying.
344
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:22,000
They all say, "We don't believe
in any Bride of Christ."
345
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,400
-So it's difficult, obviously.
-The question is, would they talk?
346
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,480
No, but there is one person
that they have gotten through to.
347
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,280
That is Sara.
She talked about Helge, her pastor.
348
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,360
It's a pity they didn't focus more
349
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:43,280
on Sara's relationship with Åsa
and ask more questions about that.
350
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,120
It was like reading
from a horror novel
351
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,720
when the nanny
gave her crucial testimony.
352
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,360
The pastor followed the proceedings
from another room,
353
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,680
as his presence might interfere
with the nanny's testimony.
354
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,400
Tell the court about
what happened in Vaggeryd.
355
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,600
Okay.
356
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:13,680
While I was in Vaggeryd, I received
an anonymous text message.
357
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,400
This is what the message said,
358
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:24,560
"It could have been over in 12 hours,
but it's still not too late for you.
359
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:30,040
Before the 25th,
you can still set him and her free.
360
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,960
A high price, yes. You can do it."
361
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:39,080
For the protocol, Your Honor,
can you say what she's reading from?
362
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,800
She's still reading
from her own notes.
363
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,600
He wasn't allowed in the courtroom
364
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,480
when Sara gave
her extremely long testimony,
365
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,280
which she had written down
in great detail, like a long story.
366
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:59,280
She felt that his presence
would affect her.
367
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,760
What amazed me was the number
of details in her testimony.
368
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,640
She had written down
the minutest details,
369
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,280
to even the sound of snow
under her shoe.
370
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,400
This may sound like I was very naive
371
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:22,840
and perhaps I was,
but I have to say that Helge...
372
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,920
He really played the part.
373
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,720
He explained to me
that this was the path I had to take.
374
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:34,080
I had to kill Alexandra.
I had to carry this out.
375
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,800
I believed him. I trusted Helge.
376
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,520
And you see,
if you've lived so close to someone
377
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:48,960
and all you've seen is love,
you've only heard good words...
378
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,040
And I asked him, "Did you send
those text messages to me?"
379
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,360
And Helge became angry,
"How could you accuse me?"
380
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,320
So I trusted him.
381
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,920
PSYCHIATRIC REPORT
382
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,320
While she's under interrogation,
prior to the trial,
383
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,680
Sara is also undergoing
a forensic psychiatric evaluation.
384
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,000
She is deemed mentally ill eventually,
isn't that right?
385
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,800
The 26-year-old woman has undergone
386
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,600
a minor forensic
psychiatric evaluation.
387
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,600
She was suffering
from a serious mental condition
388
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,800
at the time of the crimes.
389
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,720
"You get the impression
she's willing to please.
390
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:46,400
She's easy to control. She doesn't seem
to have an inner self, an identity."
391
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,160
This is interesting too.
392
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:54,000
"It seems that Sara Svensson's
obvious ability to please others
393
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,360
works too
in the interrogation situation.
394
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,360
And the normality we see is a mirror
image of the environment she's in."
395
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,360
This is interesting
because it means it's not specific
396
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,560
to Sara and the Knutby environment.
397
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,400
-Then she sees the psychologists.
-Yes.
398
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,960
-She tells them what they want to hear.
-Yes.
399
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,560
This is going on while
she is under interrogation.
400
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,440
She's in a different environment
for a period of three or four months.
401
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,920
Yes.
402
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,960
You wonder, does she behave
the same way there?
403
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,920
Is she giving the police the answers
that she thinks they want to hear?
404
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:37,280
I've read the three police interviews.
The police say at one point,
405
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,440
"Did you call him?"
406
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,040
They want to find who did what.
407
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:49,000
She says, "I don't remember exactly,
but I say I can't do it and I turn back.
408
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,080
I remember that I call him
and tell him that."
409
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,400
"Not according to our phone records."
"Okay."
410
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,440
"Mm, are you sure
you remember correctly?"
411
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,600
"No, I'm guessing.
But if it was explained to me,
412
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,280
then maybe I'd remember correctly.
I can't really say."
413
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,000
"According to our phone records,
Helge called you."
414
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,960
"Mm, okay.
Well, then that's how it was."
415
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,840
It's quite unsettling
when you read it like that.
416
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,920
Can one be delusional
and still speak the truth?
417
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,840
Yes, I'm convinced that one can.
418
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,000
In my opinion,
her testimony is credible.
419
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,600
We've been able to verify quite a lot.
420
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,520
Interrogating officers
were at first surprised
421
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,680
that she could commit murder.
422
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,520
She's kind-hearted,
nice, gentle, warm.
423
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,080
And somehow
she has done something that...
424
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,360
She committed a crime
that she has confessed to.
425
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,520
I think a lot of people
find this hard to believe.
426
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,280
There isn't a lot of time left...
427
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,880
Sara was both under interrogation
428
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,960
and undergoing a psychiatric evaluation
at the same time.
429
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,960
Did that influence
your view of her at all?
430
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,480
No.
431
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:13,520
Some of the interviews were conducted
in conjunction with the evaluation.
432
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,280
Okay. Yes, that's...
Yes, that's possible.
433
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,760
Could one have influenced
the other,
434
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,280
the psychiatric evaluation conducted
at the same time as the interrogation?
435
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:29,360
Isn't there a risk that they might
infect each other or get mixed up?
436
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,720
We don't know what
the forensic psychiatrists are doing.
437
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:39,280
They conduct their interviews
with her and we conduct ours.
438
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,200
We do our own thing.
439
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,320
Anton, you read from one of the three
interviews was in dialogue form,
440
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:53,280
but all the other interviews,
all 18, are summaries.
441
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,800
It's like the police have given their
own interpretation of what went on.
442
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,560
And I've found an example
from interview number 13.
443
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,440
It went on from 11:00 a.m.
until 16:30 p.m.
444
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,400
-Five and a half hours.
-Summarized in four pages.
445
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,400
We must remember that one hour
of interview equals about ten pages.
446
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,720
So this should be
roughly 55 pages long.
447
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,360
-Yes, and we've got four?
-We've got four.
448
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,840
That's what I call a summary.
449
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,640
We'll never know what went on
during those five and a half hours.
450
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,200
Well, Sara...
451
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:42,000
this revolver that you got to hold
before the crime scene reconstruction,
452
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,080
how does it feel
compared to the other one?
453
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:47,800
It feels heavier.
454
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,120
And bigger.
455
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,280
And then I receive
the next text message,
456
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,600
"You need to make your decision.
Don't think about if.
457
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,840
Find a safe solution.
You are proving your love
458
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,840
when you set him free. He needs that.
He has almost reached his limit."
459
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,640
Solution.
I have to find a safe solution.
460
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,520
I have to find a solution
that I can handle.
461
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,200
I didn't know how much
I could handle.
462
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,160
I'm small. I'm frail.
463
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:27,240
How am I supposed to find a solution
to bring Alexandra home?
464
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:32,720
And then Helge says, in passing,
465
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,520
"Well, you call sell your shares
and buy a weapon."
466
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,000
"You will prove your love
by releasing him.
467
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,360
He needs this.
He has almost reached his limit."
468
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:50,560
-What do you mean by that?
-Once again, I'm being pastoral.
469
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:52,720
Because this is...
470
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,640
The Book of Job tells us
that God always has his witness.
471
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,880
The Letter to the Romans tells us
472
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,240
that Jesus sits on the right hand
of the Father... Let me finish!
473
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,800
Sara says that she needs
to decide if it's a weapon.
474
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,360
I fully understand her explanation.
475
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,360
I know it's difficult
for you to understand.
476
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,840
You're not used to thinking
in Biblical terms.
477
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,160
I'll elaborate a bit.
478
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,280
But isn't it true to say that you
have no explanation
479
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,760
because what Sara says
is the truth?
480
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,760
What Sara says is not the truth.
I have an explanation for that.
481
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,800
Anyone that wants to understand
can understand.
482
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,920
This is what it was like
in the courtroom.
483
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Her testimony was allowed
to unfold undisturbed, while he...
484
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,960
they were much harder on him.
485
00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:53,520
Sara's testimony set the tone
in the evidence against him.
486
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,640
So they let her speak.
487
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,400
She could talk about her feelings,
her behavior and so on.
488
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,120
After a while I met Farid.
489
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,800
An older man from Morocco at
Plattan, Sergels Torg, Stockholm.
490
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,040
I ask him if he knows of anyone
who sells guns.
491
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,040
At first, he says that he doesn't.
492
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,360
And I think I start crying
because I'm at my wits' end.
493
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,200
And then I say that a friend of mine
is in danger
494
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:35,120
and she needs something
that will protect her.
495
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,960
She's putting a lot of thought into
496
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,520
what the text messages
are encouraging her to do.
497
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,480
She goes to Plattan,
498
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,200
because she knows that's where
she'll find what she needs.
499
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,960
Sergels Torg in Stockholm.
500
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,320
She's given a gun, or she buys a gun,
501
00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:00,440
and then she learns to shoot it.
She's given some instructions.
502
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:06,440
It's still a bit of a mystery
how this young girl
503
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,720
pulled this off without being tricked.
504
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,080
Well, she was tricked in a way,
but she's wasn't harmed
505
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:16,000
even though she mixed
with these people.
506
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,760
I learnt that I should
put my finger further in.
507
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,880
And this gave me the strength
to pull the trigger.
508
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:29,840
Because after all,
a girl's fingers are not very strong.
509
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,440
On the 19th, I sell even more shares
510
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:41,040
because on the 18th,
I lost 15,000 krona.
511
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,400
Someone tricked me and I needed
more money to buy a gun.
512
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,000
And I did that.
513
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,720
How credible is this story?
514
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,960
-You mean how she got hold of the gun?
-Yes.
515
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:59,520
It isn't any more credible than
anything else in this investigation.
516
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,480
Everything is possible and impossible.
517
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:10,200
Take the aspect of religion,
everything is so abstract.
518
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,000
All this stuff that they're imagining,
519
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:18,960
but the whole congregation
really believed in this stuff.
520
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,240
It made it difficult for journalists,
and probably the judiciary,
521
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,240
to poke a hole in their reasoning.
522
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:31,120
How do you do that? How do you
question something that doesn't exist?
523
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,400
"The car owned by Sara's father,
which Sara uses, is parked 100 meters
524
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:50,040
from the scene on the night
of the murder in a wooded area.
525
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,000
As it had snowed a few days earlier,
police could easily detect
526
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,240
footprints around the car.
527
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:01,960
It was concluded that Sara had never
walked from where the car was parked.
528
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,720
She had only walked to the car
after the murder."
529
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,440
"Knutby, a travesty of justice."
530
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,120
Yes. "An extremely good memory."
531
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,080
-Dick Sundevall wrote this.
-Yes.
532
00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:17,120
The first thing I reacted to was
533
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:24,280
what Sara says about the tracks
in the snow to and from her car.
534
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,000
That didn't add up.
535
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,240
Sara walked from the car and back.
536
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,280
It's very clear from this picture.
What is this?
537
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,360
I read the forensics report,
538
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,200
the coroner's report
and police interviews.
539
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:45,120
She can't explain how
Alexandra Fossmo was murdered.
540
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,000
She drew sketches
of where she parked the car.
541
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,520
She walked the same route
to and from the crime scene.
542
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:58,680
-Look here, in the same tracks.
-Yes, indeed. I think we need a map.
543
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,560
This is what the police presented
and this is Sara's own sketch.
544
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:11,800
Like this... Parking area. Parking area.
Here's the road.
545
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:17,280
She illustrates how she walked here
and took the same route back.
546
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,160
-That's what she says.
-She starts and finishes here.
547
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:27,480
-But the police say it started here.
-That's quite a difference.
548
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,280
Yes, the tracks to the car.
549
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,640
This has been used as evidence
in court. Everyone has seen it.
550
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,680
The prosecutor, the lawyers.
551
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,600
You would expect there to be
questions about this.
552
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,240
Number one.
These two accounts don't add up.
553
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,680
Number two. Why do the tracks start
in one spot and end in another?
554
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,880
Precisely.
555
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,360
Over there.
That's where the tracks begin.
556
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:50,680
-Inside that pole there.
-Right beside the telephone pole.
557
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,000
And there's a hill there.
You can see Åsa's house behind it.
558
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,800
-Yes.
-It must be...
559
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,960
There's a car coming...
560
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,600
-She must have come up here.
-Yes.
561
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,240
Up this hill.
562
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,960
And then here, where we're standing.
563
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,840
In this direction.
564
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:17,000
So after the crime,
someone definitely walked here.
565
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:22,800
But on their way to the crime
from the car, no one.
566
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,840
One would imagine
that during the trial
567
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:35,240
someone would ask,
"Did you get a lift?"
568
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,200
Mm, indeed.
569
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,320
As if someone drops her here.
570
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,920
And then drives up there,
parks the car and waits.
571
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,600
For her until she's finished.
572
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,400
But well...
573
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:11,440
I walk in without hesitating...
over here.
574
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:16,640
Here I raise the revolver
and point it towards the body.
575
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,360
I pull the trigger.
576
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:25,040
I hear Alexandra cry out
rather faintly,
577
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:31,560
but she doesn't move at all.
She's lying completely still.
578
00:44:31,720 --> 00:44:38,000
After firing the shot,
I quickly move over here.
579
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,480
I aim for the head
and fire the second shot.
580
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,800
-How far is that?
-This is wrong.
581
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,840
This doesn't correspond
with what the police say.
582
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,520
It doesn't add up.
583
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,720
And then a strange silence
584
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,000
envelopes the room.
585
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,160
Yes.
586
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:10,520
And I'm still not sure
that I succeeded in shooting her,
587
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,480
so I take two steps forward...
588
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,040
This is the last shot.
589
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,600
And I aim once more at her head.
590
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,840
-How far is that?
-That's wrong too.
591
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,480
Yes, Dick Sundevall
was of the same opinion.
592
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,560
"Sara said that she stood
by the side of the bed
593
00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:31,680
and fired from between one and a half
and two meters."
594
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,200
That doesn't tally
with the forensics report.
595
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,680
I was just looking at that.
It says here,
596
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,400
"Two shots were fired from the gun
597
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,400
directly towards the bedspread
over Alexandra's head,
598
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,120
So-called close contact range."
599
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:51,280
It says in the autopsy report
that these shots were fatal.
600
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,600
Close contact? What's the definition?
601
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,720
Yes, well, let's see.
602
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:02,120
"The gun has been in contact
or in close contact with the target."
603
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:07,000
Like this, or this possibly,
in close contact.
604
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,080
-Yes. How far away is she, a meter?
-A meter.
605
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:13,160
But the shot before that...
also close contact.
606
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,400
She's on the other side of the bed.
That's two meters away.
607
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,640
-That's not close contact.
-No, none of this adds up.
608
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:27,920
Maybe that's why the prosecutor
brings this up in her closing argument.
609
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:29,400
Here.
610
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:34,920
The parts of her testimony that could
be verified were shown to be true,
611
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:40,080
except one point. That is the one
relating to the distance
612
00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:43,680
from which the shots
to Alexandra's head were fired.
613
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,760
The forensics report states
that the shots
614
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,880
are so-called close contact shots,
which means
615
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:54,520
that the revolver was held against,
or close to the head when fired.
616
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,120
Sara states that the shots
were fired from a distance
617
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,840
of at least half a meter.
618
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,440
An explanation as to why Sara
may be mistaken about the distance
619
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,040
is that it was relatively dark
in the bedroom.
620
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:13,040
Also, Alexandra had both the duvet
and bedspread over her head,
621
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,360
which made estimating
the distance difficult.
622
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,080
Another explanation
may be that it felt awful
623
00:47:19,240 --> 00:47:21,280
to hold a gun to someone's head
624
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,960
and therefore she suppressed
this memory afterwards.
625
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:29,880
Regardless of the reason, Sara's
incorrect account on this detail
626
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:35,360
does not diminish
the credibility of her testimony.
627
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,080
It's interesting that
she calls it "a detail".
628
00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:40,640
In this interview from January 13,
629
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,720
the police ask Sara
where she's standing,
630
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,160
"Two meters from the headboard maybe.
Or 1.5, I'm not sure.
631
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,240
That's when I fire the second shot.
632
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,040
"Towards?" They ask.
"Towards the head," she says.
633
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,360
How far was the barrel
from her head at that point?
634
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,680
One to one and a half meters maybe.
635
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,520
You know
that the interrogating officer knows
636
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,160
that the forensics report
says something else.
637
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,200
He says, "You say you feel unsure
of yourself with this gun and aim."
638
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:13,040
"Yes", says Sara. "Did you plan
on going up close and firing?"
639
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,280
A leading question.
640
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:20,200
She says, "I would find it hard
to press it against her head."
641
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,560
And she goes on,
but the point is, this is a person
642
00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:27,520
that goes out of her way
to please people,
643
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:32,400
but on this single important point
she is not people-pleasing.
644
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,400
And we know that she is extremely good
at remembering things.
645
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,800
The prosecutor says
that she may have suppressed this.
646
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:45,440
It's interesting that when she doesn't
remember, she must have suppressed it.
647
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,920
In the single most important moment
of this act,
648
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,040
when those fatal shots are fired,
649
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,720
she doesn't succeed in giving
a correct account of events.
650
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,680
And I think...
651
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:04,520
putting a gun here, or very close,
652
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:09,960
at close contact range, can you
really suppress something like that?
653
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,720
Let's agree with the prosecutor,
this is just "a detail",
654
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,720
but it still doesn't explain
the first shot.
655
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,600
Because if we are
to believe what Sara says,
656
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,120
she shoots Alexandra in the hip.
657
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:26,440
That shot is not fatal
and it doesn't even wake her.
658
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,480
Yes, it seems like
she doesn't even move
659
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,120
from the time the first shot is fired.
660
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:37,760
She lies completely still
and then she's shot in the head.
661
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,240
Precisely.
662
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,040
Let's say you were run over by a car.
663
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,480
You don't feel
a lot of pain immediately,
664
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:50,160
because the adrenalin kicks in,
but she was shot with a revolver
665
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:54,080
that according
to the forensics report,
666
00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:58,560
produced a sound level
of 102.9 dB, at the lowest.
667
00:49:58,720 --> 00:50:01,000
It's like switching on a power saw,
668
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,200
drilling a hole in a wall,
or starting a disco.
669
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:05,680
It should wake her.
670
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:11,000
One month earlier she woke up when
she was hit on the head with a hammer.
671
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,680
So why doesn't Alexandra wake up
a month later
672
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,640
when she's shot in the hip?
673
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,840
There is no mention of this in court.
674
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,000
We can sit here discussing it,
675
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,680
but these questions
should have been asked in court.
676
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,680
Here's a person that has been shot
in the hip and doesn't wake up.
677
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,120
But it's like...
678
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,640
Sara confesses so...
"This is what happened."
679
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,680
I didn't want to do it.
I really didn't want to do...
680
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,720
what I did.
681
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:56,360
I had no personal motive. Who did?
682
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:03,520
Who was the driving force
behind all of this?
683
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,600
Well...
