A 26-year-old suspect in the Rönninge murder case that occurred during the Christmas holiday has been found not to suffer from a serious mental disorder, according to a psychiatric assessment by Rättsmedicinalverket. The suspect, Vilma Andersson, underwent evaluation at the high-security psychiatric facility Helix after being arrested for the murder of a woman in Rönninge.
According to the assessment reported by Aftonbladet, Andersson has admitted to gross violation of a grave by moving the victim's body but denies committing the murder. The suspect is also reportedly suspected of gross child pornography offenses.
The psychiatric evaluation concluded that Andersson has lived a 'double life,' maintaining outward appearances of normalcy including steady employment, good finances, and regular participation in hobbies like paintball. Rättsmedicinalverket determined the suspect has 'relatively good psychosocial functioning ability' and does not suffer from a serious mental disorder, either currently or at the time of the alleged murder.
Court records show Andersson was previously convicted in 2019 for attempting to kidnap a 10-year-old girl and was diagnosed with pedophilia at that time. The suspect served a prison sentence and later obtained a truck driver's license, working in the transport industry before the current allegations.
According to the assessment, the suspect expressed dissatisfaction with prison treatment during the previous sentence and reportedly made threats against correctional staff, which were denied and appealed. The psychiatric evaluation was reportedly complex, requiring extension and review by a specialized 'shadow team' of medical professionals.
