Mattias Flink (born 8 March 1970) is a Swedish spree killer who killed seven people on June 11, 1994, in Falun, Sweden.
[7] On 11 June 1994, Second Lieutenant Mattias Flink consumed a large amount of alcohol, then he went home to change his clothes.
Flink then set out for a park in downtown Falun where he shot 6 members of the Women's Auxiliary Services at random.
According to experts, Flink was in a self-inflicted temporary psychotic condition, triggered by alcohol, on the evening of the crime.
The final verdict came in the Swedish Supreme Court; Mattias Flink was sentenced to life imprisonment.
This precedent verdict made it possible for the courts in Sweden to sentence people to prison for crimes stemming from and committed during an alcohol-induced psychosis.
When the prisoners of Beateberg learned of Flink's move they arranged a meeting to show their disgust towards his actions of killing innocent women.
On June 9, the court ruled that Flink must go through a psychiatric examination to determine whether he is likely to be dangerous to others before a decision on parole can be made.
Relatives and families of the victims strongly opposed these leaves and expressed worries about a recurrence of Flink's violence.
However, on 3 September 2008, Örebro municipal court rejected the request due to the circumstances regarding the case that were "exceptionally difficult" and that a set time punishment has to greatly exceed 24 years.
On 21 December 2010, Flink's punishment was adjusted to 36 years by Göta Court of Appeal, pushing his potential parole date to the summer of 2018.
