[3] The murdered woman was married to Helge Fossmo, a pastor in a local Pentecostal church,[4] who had gone with Daniel Linde in the ambulance to the hospital.
Although she had a hole in her skull[5] and toxicology reports indicated a toxic concentration of dextropropoxyphene in her blood, her death had been ruled an accident.
Details such as the victims' and perpetrators' involvement in the same cult-like Christian congregation (led by Åsa Waldau, sister of the murdered woman), as well as the pastor's sexual relationships with both the nanny and the wounded man's wife, were extensively covered in the tabloid newspapers.
Waldau was frequently called "Kristi brud" (The Bride of Christ) in the media, following news that she had performed an engagement ritual with Jesus.
[14] In January 2015, the Göta Court of Appeal repealed the decision, on the penalty requirement of at least 24 years of imprisonment for the severity of the crime, so that the application for parole was premature.
[15] In January 2010, Aftonbladet reported that Sara Svensson began college at the folkhögskola, or folk high school, in Vadstena.
[citation needed] The crimes inspired a six-hour fictionalized Swedish miniseries, Knutby, first shown in 2021.
[citation needed] In 2021, HBO released a documentary about the crime called Pray, Obey, Kill.
