	Self-confessed killer of Lindh goes on trial - www.smh.com.au
		Mijailo Mijailovic, 25, a Swede born to Serbian parents, confessed last week to fatally stabbing Lindh, one of the country's most popular politicians, at Stockholm's upmarket NK department store on September 10.
		Mijailovic has admitted attacking Lindh as she shopped with a girlfriend, but without a bodyguard, for clothes for a televised debate on the euro just days before Sweden was to vote in a referendum on the issue.
		Mijailovic's mother has been quoted in the media as saying her son did not receive the care he needed, and Mijailovic himself told police that he was turned away from a clinic when he sought help after killing Lindh.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : International
		Mijailo Mijailovic confessed last week to the attack — having denied until then any involvement since his arrest on September 24 — but told prosecutors and his defence lawyer the deed had been unplanned and lacked political motive.
		Mijailovic told police he knew who he was stabbing, but that he had had nothing personal against Lindh, a 46-year-old mother of two tipped as Sweden’s next Prime Minister.
		Mijailovic, a high-school drop-out who had sought psychiatric help before the attack, said inner voices had spoken to him in the language of his parents from former Yugoslavia, where he spent part of his childhood and early youth.

		Today, Anna Lindh's murderer, Mijailo Mijailovic, was sentenced to forensic psychiatric care by the Swedish court of appeal.
		Mijailo's lawyer, being a lawyer, was content with the court's decision to place him in the economically challenged psychiatric care which he himself had argued was directly responsible for Mijailo's actions.
		I wrote "supposedly crazy" because while I'm sure Mijailo Mijailovic is far from being mild mannered and mentally stable, I'm not convinced he is so mentally ill that he cannot be held accountable for his own actions.

		The court upheld an appeal on the basis that Mijailovic was “under the influence of a serious psychiatric disorder” at the time of the murder, rejecting the January 2004 verdict that had found the clearly disturbed Mijailovic guilty and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
