The trial of the mother who is accused of murdering her two sons in Sigtuna in September 2011, has now been closed for the day. Next time, on January 30, the prosecutors and lawyers will present their final submission.
It is most likely that the mother, who admitted that she killed her children, will be sentenced to forensic psychiatric care. That she is seriously mentally disturbed is clear, given the results of a recent forensic psychiatric examination. It is usually the practice of Swedish law, following the recommendations made by forensic pathologists.
In the morning, several witnesses testified in Attunda District Court, including the woman’s employer. She testified that she was a mother who regarded her children highly, but oscillated between being happy and positive, to increasingly becoming angry and aggressive.
She became angry and resigned from work, when she was denied an extended leave to travel to Kenya. When she returned to Sweden and wanted the job back, it was too late. She had got into loggerheads with both her colleagues and her boss.
During the morning session, a female friend of the mother testified about her relationship with her and the two boys.
“We were a bit like family; the children used to call me ‘grandmother’ and they played with my kids,” she said.
The friend also mentioned that the mother lived for her children and she basically had no other relations, apart from her children and the friend. The mother also had many demands heaped on her from relatives in Kenya, who wanted her to send money.

So, so tragic and sad, the whole story…My heart is bleeding when I think about the boys, whose grave I visit nearly every day, but I also feel sad thinking about the mother, who apparently had no one to turn to, which she could confide in, and ask for help. God forbid that this NEVER happens again, and that we watch out for each other.
Oh plz stop, how can u even feel sorry for the mother, I hope she burn in hell!! Grace did this out of anger and being to proud! She looked down at everyone and felt superior. Thats why she couldnt ask for help, at the time her bubble was melting. She obviously knew people would reject her, because of her behaviour. Sorry to say but “som man bäddar får man ligga” right. I strongly dont belive she is sick and hope that the reconsideration of the forensic Psychiatry should show otherwise. THE KIDS DESERVS JUSTICE!! Imagine that Elise cryied and begged to be saved and she just stod firm! Secondly a sick severe sick person dosent plan ahead there actions! And THIRDLY how many of us got economic problems, figthing with our parents, friends, colleagues, partners, children, authorities…etc BUt we dont become murderers! In my oppinon this are just lame excuses, for this horriable action!!
