Alfred ineligible and made to be subjected to security guard

Alfreð Erling Þórðarson has been assessed ineligible and thus acquitted of the criminal offense of the prosecution in double murder in Neskaupstaður in August last year. However, he is required to be subject to security guard at the appropriate institution and to pay the couple's relatives whom he killed a total of 31 million in compensation.

This is the conclusion of the Eastern District Court, but the verdict fell earlier this week.

It is stated in the district court's ruling that Alfreð is considered dangerous, according to a judged appraiser and considered a priority that he is in the forefront to ensure both his safety and safety of prison staff.

The judgment concludes that Alfreð murdered the couple and is referred to numerous issues for proof.

DNA study, recording, witness and bloody hammer

Among the documents to the court are the testimony of witnesses who saw Alfreð traveling with the house and recording from a surveillance camera that showed him near the house at the time that the couple was died and bloody clothes he wore arrest and were clearly the same as he was in the recording.

A DNA test was also conducted on a blood that was found on a hammer he had in a car when he was arrested in Reykjavik, but the blood turned out to be from him and the couple. The blood on his clothing was also found out of the couple. Finally, the scene shovel turned out to match the shoes that Alfreð wore, but the shovel had a characteristic pattern. It was the only fox on the scene that had stepped in blood.

Alfreð admitted in court to have been in the couple's home, but said they were dead when he arrived. He said he had found the hammer on the bathroom floor of the couple's apartment and that the « scientists » asked him to take this hammer with him and he clearly considered that they used the hammer on each other. He also said he had cleaned the hammer in the kitchen sink.

Believed to prove that he murdered the couple

The judgment was based on the evidence of the case has a reasonable doubt that Alfreð has used the hammer in the attachment against the couple and thereby stated legitimate proof that he knew them in accordance with the prosecution.

Is the verdict because he killed the couple. However, according to the Public Criminal Code, it is recommended that those who should not be punished for mental illness, mental immaturity or degeneration, robbery or other corresponding condition should not be punished at the time they did the work to manage their actions.

Crimes Cards shall be assessed narrowly

Reference is made in a statement with the Criminal Code, which states: “The purpose of punishment is primarily the protection of general legal security and the maintenance of statutory national planning. But in addition, punishment satisfies the sense of justice to the public, it does not accept that people impair the unrestricted rights of others.  » The court states that these views recommend that the provision on criminal offenses be clearly narrow rather than space, as there is an exception to the principle that men are punished for crime.

Therefore, it does not lead to a lack of criminal shortages if one has distorted a sense of reality or have misconceptions caused by mental illness, unless he was not able to control his actions.

Detailed and unequivocal assessment of the psychiatrist

The court refers to a detailed and unequivocal assessment of the psychiatrist and his report in court on the very poor psychic of Alfred. There are also data from the inspection of another psychiatrist the night he was arrested and the forensic examiner and Alfreð's report with police and a recording from a police camera when he was arrested.

Therefore, the judge stated the appraiser, among other things, in court « how distracting it was how incredibly quiet the defendant was against the existing events he had actually described as science fiction or horror literature rather than reality. » He has also shown the same calm against other incidents, as if his house has burned.

« A frightening struggle with God and the devil« 

The psychiatrist described in court how Alfreð described « a frightening struggle with God and the devil and the ranks of individuals who had fallen and how there were possible relationships between them. This has been, to say the least, uncomfortable and unfamiliar to listen to. Furthermore, among other things, the accused did not look as a patient or as a sick and did not have insight into his illness, ”as stated in the court.

However, the psychiatrist believes that Alfreð has a clear and very serious psychiatric disease.

No answers have been made about intent

The psychiatrist also said that in the case of such a ranking world, there was sometimes some organization going on with some « target » but that in this case it was not the situation. Alfreð has never actually described the intention or malice of the couple and that nothing that can be classified as sensible answers can explain why he has killed them.

He states that Alfreð knows that it is wrong to kill and hurt people and in the light of his misconceptions, he does not see any other interpretation possible but to say that he was at all unable to manage his actions at a time of act.

The judgment accepts this and assesses Alfreð unreasonable and refers, among other things, that Alfreð had ideas that the Chief of Police was persecuting him mentally.
