  • Säter Hospital, Monday, 2 June 2008
    SÄTER HOSPITAL, MONDAY, 2 JUNE 2008 THE SERIAL KILLER, sadist and cannibal Sture Bergwall had not been receiving visitors for the past seven years. I was filled with nervous anticipation as I was let into the main guarded entrance at the regional forensic psychiatric clinic in Säter. ‘Hannes Råstam, Swedish Television. I’m here to see Sture Berg- wall . .’ I dropped my press pass into the little stainless- steel drawer under the bulletproof glass between me and the guard. He confirmed that my visit had been logged and approved. ‘Go through the security gate. Don’t touch the door!’ I obeyed the scratchy voice from the speaker, passed through an automatic door, then a couple of metal detectors and finally through one more automatic door into a waiting room where a care assistant rummaged through my shoulder bag. I followed my guide’s firm steps through an inexplicable system of corridors, stairs and elevators. Her heels tapped against the concrete floors; then silence, the rattling of keys at every new steel barrier, the bleep of electronic locks and slamming of armoured doors. Thomas Quick had confessed to more than thirty murders. Six unan- imous courts had found him guilty of the murders of eight people. After the last verdict in 2001 he withdrew, announced a ‘time out’, reassumed his old name – Sture Bergwall – and went quiet. In the seven years that followed, a heated debate about whether Quick was 657EE_txt.indd 3 5/23/13 9:37 AM 4 HANNES RÅSTAM a serial killer or a pathological liar had bubbled up at regular intervals.

    The Quick and the Dead 17th August 2020 “The operation was successful but the patient died.” - Anon. “Teach your kids about compounding: put your money in a savings account and watch it double every 19,876 years.” - Morgan Housel. “We have kept interest rates at 0.1%. Vote 9-0” - Tweet by the Bank of England, who seem bizarrely proud of themselves. “Successful investing is about having people agree with you.. later.” - James Grant. Charles Zelmanovits was murdered in Piteå, Sweden in 1976. Johan Asplund was murdered in Sundsvall in 1980. Marinus and Jannie Stegehuis, a Dutch couple on a camping holiday, were murdered in Appojaure, Sweden in 1984. Yenon Levi, a tourist from Israel, was murdered in Rörshyttan, Sweden in 1988. Therese Johannesen was murdered in Drammen, Norway in 1988. Trine Jensen was murdered in Oslo in 1981. Gry Storvik was murdered in Oslo in 1985. All of these murders went unsolved until Sture Bergwall, who would subsequently change his name to Thomas Quick, confessed to every one them in the mid-1990s. He was convicted of all eight murders and would ultimately spend 20 years in a locked psychiatric clinic, Säter Hospital, which has been likened to a Swedish Broadmoor. Just one problem: he made everything up. This extraordinary story was made into a documentary film in 2015 – The Confessions of Thomas Quick. It is difficult to believe that Bergwall’s fancies ever successfully took flight. Dan Josefsson, an award-winning Swedish journalist, comments: 1 It was ludicrous. His stories were ridiculous. Nothing added up. He couldn’t show any hidden bodies or people who disappeared – ever.

  • Zahraniční Tituly V České Kinodistribuci V Roce 2020
    Úvod Kompilací Zahraniční filmy v české kinodistribuci 2020 předkládá Národní filmový archiv široké veřejnosti přehled všech zahraničních audiovizuálních děl, která v období od 1. ledna do 31. prosince 2020 byla v premiéře uvedena distribučními společnostmi v kinech na území České republiky. Jednotlivé tituly byly zpracovány na základně přístupných údajů Unie filmových distributorů a samotných distribučních společností. Získaná data byla revidována, zpřesňována, ověřována a doplňována podle zákonné oznamovací povinnosti (zákon o audiovizi číslo 496/2012 Sb. s účinností od 1. ledna 2013), úvodních a závěrečných filmových titulků, tisku, zahraničních internetových databází a dalších relevantních materiálů, pramenů a zdrojů. Po úvodním přehledu všech sto šestnácti v kinodistribuci nasazených filmů (pokud není uvedeno jinak, jde o dlouhometrážní díla) následuje hlavní část, abecedně seřazený soupis snímků v podobě hesel s filmografickými, technickými, produkčními a distribučními údaji a s informativními texty. V závěru publikace je přehled distribuovaných filmů seřazený chronologicky podle data české premiéry, dále podle země původu, podle distribučních společností. A zvláštní přehled tvoří filmy, které byly v kinech uvedeny v národní úpravě – v dabované verzi (zbylým snímkům bylo zpravidla ponecháno původní znění a byly opatřeny českými podtitulky). V jednotlivých seznamech jsou dále vedeny údaje, zda se jedná o součást pásma, obnovenou premiéru, film krátkometrážní či středometrážní a u koprodukčních snímků jsou zmíněny rovněž všechny zúčastněné země. Pro úplnost připojujeme taktéž soupis českých a českých koprodukčních snímků uvedených ve sledovaném roce v tuzemské kinodistribuci. Jejich podrobné údaje jsou k dohledání rovněž v internetové databázi Filmový přehled (www.filmovyprehled.cz). Výjimečný distribuční rok 2020 v českých kinech nelze – ať již celkovým množstvím filmových premiér, počtem projekcí, či jejich návštěvností – porovnávat s předcházejícími (a zřejmě ani s následujícími) lety.

  • Mediebilden Av Sture Bergwall Och Thomas Quick
    Mediebilden av Sture Bergwall och Thomas Quick Av: Ellen Agné Journalistikvetenskap Kandidatuppsats J10Vkand Handledare: Merja Ellofson Abstract Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka mediebilden av Sture Bergwall i svensk tryckt press och hur eller om mediebilden förändrats mellan 90-talet och idag. De frågor som ligger till grund för undersökningen är vilka huvudkällor som använts, om det finns några särskilda ord som är signifikanta i beskrivningar av Bergwall samt hur andra aktörer i hans omgivning beskrivs. De metoder jag använder för att söka svar är dels en kvantitativ analys för att få statistik om vilka källor som används. Dels en diskursanalys, där jag har blandat Roger Fowlers och Teun A van Dijks teorier för att bäst kunna applicera metoden på mitt material. De sex artiklar som är undersökta genom diskursanalys är hämtade från Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet, Expressen och Aftonbladet. De artiklar som är föremål för en mindre kvantitativ analys är hämtade från samma tidningar, från perioderna 1998-01- 01 till 1999-12-31 samt 2009-01-01 till 2010-01-31. De teorietiska ramarna för uppsatsen är både mer allmän teori om det journalistiska uppdraget och mer specifik teori om brott i medier samt moralpanik. Resultatet visade att det finns stora skillnader i hur Bergwall framställs under de båda tidsperioderna. Under 90-talet framställdes han som en brutal seriemördare medan han idag ofta tillskrivs en offerroll, trots att han fortfarande är dömd för 7 mord. Auktoriteterna som figurerar i artiklarna om Bergwall har också fått ett nytt framställningssätt. En vanlig beskrivning är att de är karriärlystna individer som utnyttjat Bergwall för att nå toppen.

  • Sweden's Worst Serial Killer No More: All Murder Charges Dropp
    On 31 July 2013 Karl Ritter of the Associated Press reported “Sweden’s worst serial killer no more: All murder charges dropped” [Sture Bergwall] STOCKHOLM: Prosecutors on Wednesday dropped the last remaining charges against a man who was once considered Sweden’s worst serial killer, but whose eight murder convictions were overturned after he withdrew his confessions. S Yvonne Asell / AP File Photo Prosecutors in Sweden on Wednesday dropped the last remaining charges against Sture Bergwall, who was once considered Sweden's worst serial killer, but whose eight murder convictions were overturned after he withdrew his confessions. Prosecutors on Wednesday dropped the last remaining charges against a man who was once considered Sweden’s worst serial killer, but whose eight murder convictions were overturned after he withdrew his confessions. Psychiatric officials will now evaluate whether 63-year-old Sture Bergwall can be released from the secure mental health unit where he’s been held since 1991. Bergwall confessed to more than 30 murders over three decades and was convicted of eight of them. But he later said he had lied to investigators because he craved attention and was heavily medicated. Retrials were ordered in each case, but prosecutors said that without the confessions they didn’t have enough evidence to go back to court. On Wednesday they dropped the final case, which involved the death of a 15-year-old boy who disappeared in northern Sweden in 1976. Bergwall was convicted in 1994 of murdering the boy, even though there was no technical evidence linking him to the crime and the cause of death could not be established.

  • Thomas Quick: Caso De Construcción De Un Asesino En Serie
    THOMAS QUICK: CASO DE CONSTRUCCIÓN DE UN ASESINO EN SERIE Mikel Haranburu Oiharbide Nekane Balluerka Lasa Arantxa Gorostiaga Manterola [email protected] Thomas Quick, asesino en serie, pensamiento de grupo, búsqueda de atención Thomas Quick, Serial Killer, Group Thinking, Attention Seeking RESUMEN Sture Bergwall nació en Suecia el año 1950. Mostró tendencias homosexuales en su adolescencia y estuvo implicado en un caso de abuso sexual a los 19 años. Adicto a las drogas, ingresó en una prisión psiquiátrica a los 41 años, condenado por un secuestro llevado a cabo con el objeto de extraer dinero de un banco. Durante su estancia en la prisión pasó a llamarse Thomas Quick y se autoatribuyó la autoría de más de treinta asesinatos sin resolver y fue condenado por ocho de ellos. En ninguno de los casos hubo evidencias empíricas ni testimonios que fundamentaran las atribuciones de autoría. Thomas Quick colaboró asiduamente con el grupo terapéutico, con los policias, abogados y jueces, y tuvo acceso a dosis generosas de medicamentos que funcionaban como drogas que le permitían recordar experiencias traumáticas hasta entonces reprimidas. Cuando el cambio de terapeuta restringió su acceso a las drogas terapéuticas Thomas Quick dejó de colaborar con el equipo terapéutico y con la ayuda de un periodista se rectractó de todos los casos por los que fue condenado. En la ponencia trataremos de analizar el microclima que se generó en ese hospital psiquiátrico, las motivaciones que tuvo Sture Bergwall para autoinculparse (búsqueda de atención) y las razones por las que los policías, terapeutas, abogados y jueces condenaron a Sture Bergwall (pensamiento de grupo), sin más pruebas que sus autoatribuciones.

Tomas Quick, att få anföra följande. Kommissionen sammanfattar sina slutsatser av det som hänt i följande förklaringar: - Sture Bergwallsegna uppgifter, Sture Bergwall fick höga doser av bensodiazepiner, vilket kan ha bidragit till hans benägenhet att fabulera, den särskilda hänsyn som framförallt under förundersökningen togs till Sture Bergwalls särart och beteende, den starka kontinuiteten i gruppen kring Sture Bergwall, obalansen mellan åtal och försvar. När det gäller rättsväsendets hantering pekar kommissionen särskilt på den bristande objektiviteten, dvs den "objektivitetsprincip" som alltid måste få råda -att förundersökningar bedrivs förutsättningslöst och att polis och åklagare även ska redovisa omständigheter som talar till den tilltalades fördel. Med andra ord att omständigheter som talar mot ett åtal också skall redovisas. Under utredningarna och rättegångarna mot Tomas Quick, var det som om denna objektivitetsprincip var ett helt okänt begrepp för polis, åklagare, för• svarare och domstolarna ifråga.
