Repeatedly have been warned by the gunman

A gunman who is suspected of having held a tourist hostage for a few hours had been warned. The man sat in prison until mid -September last. He has numerous reviews on his back and has previously been sentenced for rape and deprivation of liberty.

The man did not receive probation for his illness, but he sat down all the verdict. In prison, he was long -term safety and isolation together.

At the end of the sentence, the prison authorities sent a statement to the government, pointing out that it was desirable to find specific resources for this person.

Did the authorities know

The ministries then contacted the City of Reykjavik asking for resources for the individual. Human case is that the social services are poorly prepared to provide remedies for people who can be considered dangerous or weak as is the case in the gunman’s case.

Birgir Jónasson, the prison chief, says that there are examples of warning men when they finish serving.

« Without commenting on individual issues, it is clear that we are concerned about certain individuals who are in a weak position and we have let the appropriate authorities know that these individuals can be managed. Because it lacks clear resources and support, » says Birgir.

Doesn’t stop getting sick overnight

The gunman is struggling with a disabilities. Guðmundur Ingi Þóroddsson, chairman of the position, a prison company, says that the man has repeatedly warned. Among other things, he did so in an interview on mbl.is in October last year.

« We were for a long time preparing for the authorities that this man would get out of prison. But when it came to the man, there was really no system that seized him.

Unusually many issues

The case of the man who has arisen is at least the third that has emerged where public systems have known human danger. Thus, a man who is suspected of murdering his mother in Breiðholt, Alfreð Erling Þórðarson, who was declared unscathed after killing a couple in Neskaupstaður and the gunman yesterday all men who public systems could not hold.

There is a work across ministries aimed at finding resources for individuals who are not qualified to be in the community. To begin with, it will be a remedy on Kleppi.
