Vilma Andersson Found Fit for Imprisonment After Psychiatric Evaluation in Murder Case

Vilma Andersson, 26, suspected of murdering a 25-year-old woman near Rönninge station, has been deemed fit for imprisonment following a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation conducted at the National Board of Forensic Medicine in Huddinge. The assessment concluded that Andersson does not suffer from a severe mental illness under Swedish law but has an antisocial personality disorder characterized by manipulative and impulsive behavior, as well as a lack of remorse and empathy.

Andersson was arrested on December 27, 2025, after DNA evidence linked him to the crime scene connected to the disappearance and death of the victim. Police apprehended him while he was allegedly handling the remains of the victim. During detention hearings, Andersson admitted to serious violations of grave peace but denied the murder charge.

Following the psychiatric evaluation, Andersson was transferred from a psychiatric detention to a standard detention facility. He reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the assessment, hoping for psychiatric treatment rather than imprisonment. Due to safety concerns, he has been held in a separate unit with some privileges while in custody.

Prosecutor Markus Hankkio noted that because the psychiatric investigation team did not have full access to all case materials, further evaluations might be needed to establish whether Andersson was seriously mentally ill at the time of the crime.

This decision comes after a delay in the investigation due to its complexity. The ongoing case remains under close scrutiny as the legal process continues, with the court expected to consider the psychiatric findings alongside other evidence in the upcoming trial.
