A 55-year-old former aircraft mechanic, pilot and engineer is so dangerous to society that the prosecution by The police are demanding him sentenced to custody for an indefinite time, when he later in the year, made for the Court of Elsinore indicted for the brutal killing of the 58-year-old doctor Charlotte Asperud in her home in Tisvildeleje.

It came to pass, while he served his previous judgment, but stalkningen triggered not a new judgment to the 55-year-old.

This is the judgement to the custody
