I came in contact with a woman there and we got talking.
She was speaking about God and Jesus.
Suddenly, she says, "This never would have happened
if the Bride of Christ was here."
So I said, "Really? Where is she, then?"
And she answers, "The Bride of Christ is in London."
"But what would she do if she was here in Knutby?"
She says, "She lives over there." And she points to a house further down.
We're rolling. Yes.
- We're in London right now. - I'm zooming in.
In Kingsway Hall, on Queen Street. We're at the hotel.
Peter Gembäck phones and says
that Alexandra has been shot and Daniel has been shot.
So now anything could happen.
Is there someone here in London that might shoot Asa?
I remember that day, I was... I was paranoid.
I was absolutely terrified of everything.
I suspected that everything was some kind of plot
or that there might be someone that would shoot Asa,
or something like that.
I told myself I needed to say calm. I needed to think rationally.
We believed that Asa would die. But Alexandra? It was the wrong sister.
It's not... The whole thing is so twisted.
Asa was going to be with Jesus. That was our top priority.
- Emergency 112. How may I help you? - I don't know.
I just came in. There's blood everywhere.
In Knutby.
Shock and despair spread throughout the little town of Knutby.
The murder of a young woman and the attempted murder of her neighbor
is in stark contrast to this quiet, peaceful community.
It's one of the most bizarre criminal cases in Sweden in modern time.
A web of religion, sex and cruel, callous murder
unprecedented in the judicial history of Sweden.
Who is the driving force behind all of this?
It's an important piece of evidence that has been manipulated.
It plants seeds of doubt among the public.
Is this what actually happened?
This is a difficult time, but we believe in God.
We're here for one another. We're not giving up.
The murder trial of the pastor and the nanny began this morning.
The nanny confessed to the murder of the pastor's wife.
Together with strong forensic evidence,
prosecutors have decided to charge her with murder and attempted murder.
Prosecutors say the pastor incited her to murder
and are therefore charging him with instigating murder in both cases.
- What sentence will you demand? - A life sentence.
The fact is, this case is about murder.
It concerns the defendants, Sara Svensson and Helge Fossmo.
Whether or not the congregation in Knutby
is a hierarchical sect that brainwashes its members,
or if Asa Waldau believes she's the Bride of Christ
are issues that I think have little to do with the crimes committed.
The police and prosecutor know
that Asa Waldau is known as the Bride of Christ.
It is not known exactly how much power she has.
But she is a central figure. Leif Spanbo knows this.
He wants to interview her, but isn't given the opportunity.
- I didn't realize that. - Neither did I.
A high-ranking policeman in this investigation,
at the top level, that they're at odds
as to how this investigation should be conducted.
Did you take any other action as regards the Bride of Christ?
No, she was interviewed once more. We wanted to know
who drove them to Arlanda Airport on January 8
when they were flying to London.
Even though you knew that this might be a sect
you let the matter rest? Asa's telephone wasn't tapped...
No, she was not suspected of any crime.
God comes to us through our salvation and when we're free from sin,
but God can't give us everything that He wants to give us
unless we give ourselves to the Lord. Cleanse...
I'll read from the Book of Isaiah 58.
When did the Knutby story begin, as you see it?
It starts when Kim Wincent and Per-Arne Waldau
travel to Uppsala and bring Asa Waldau to Knutby.
Why do you think it starts there?
Because prior to that it was just an ordinary Pentecostal congregation.
But after that it began to change and became something else,
that is the Knutby sect that we know today.
Rigmor Robért, you meet a lot of people
with connections to the Knutby congregation.
How did you come in contact with these people?
I wrote an article that was published on Holy Thursday, 2004,
a few months after the murder and attempted murder.
After that article was published, relatives contacted me.
The staff at the Knutby school and former members contacted me
and they all said the same thing.
"What you're saying is something that we recognize from inside."
I had understood something about Asa Waldau
as regards her personality.
This dream of marrying Jesus
and the position of importance it gave her in the congregation.
She outwardly denied things
that members of the congregation had to cover up
so they became part of these double standards.
This went on right up to 2016 when the congregation was dissolved.
First of all, I believe that God speaks through me
in order to help others.
It's not like I'm saying, "God is speaking."
If a person is in need,
I think that God very often speaks and that can be...
I very seldom use the phrase, "So says the Lord"
but I know when God wants to say something to a person.
He wants to say, "You need this."
Or "This is the path," or what's right and wrong.
If I speak God's words, I'm not expecting,
"Oh, how great you are! You speak God's words."
I'm just happy to receive a message from God, that I understand God.
She was a colorful character. Her teachings were challenging
in a way I hadn't experienced before.
She gave the impression that she knew what she was talking about.
There was never any doubt in what she had to say.
A person who reaches the point, "I do not need to be corrected,"
is actually at a point where they need to be corrected.
It was really inspiring,
that God was so close every day.
It wasn't just on Sundays, He was there every day, all the time.
And everyone wanted to live as purely and holy as possible.
I do not demand that anyone does what I say,
but I expect them to, and sure, it's tough.
If you say that you believe, then I expect you to be true to that.
She talks a lot about what she calls purity.
What's wrong, what's right and how to live our lives.
That was very much her hallmark.
If you see something in yourself that's wrong,
then you should deal with it or... things like that.
I believe that love is to say, "That's not the way to live your life."
I do not demand that anyone should change.
But if I see that someone is taking the wrong path for some reason,
then I don't mince my words and I'm not afraid to do that.
When I look back, there's one thing that I realize today.
It was a warning signal back then.
I remember when we were standing in the chapel kitchen.
She looked me straight in the eye and said,
"If you move here it will be for life."
I didn't take it seriously at the time,
but I thought about it afterwards. She told me then.
And she meant it.
"In the depth of my being, my love for you was born, beautiful and pure.
You look at me and I surrender. When I close my eyes you are there.
A queen's glory. Beautiful all through. Created to be by my side always."
Has she written this down as if Jesus said these words to her?
Yes, but it's a prophecy. This is what awaits her.
Asa says that Jesus has started calling her Tirsa.
It says here, "Tirsa, you are the loveliest in creation."
"Do not fear. I have everything in my hand."
"Would I let you go? Never."
Then this goes on into something of a more sexual nature.
Then Asa starts describing what Jesus will do with her
when they meet, that is.
"I long to touch you and satisfy your desires.
I want to make love to you, give you the love you deserve."
I want to caress you gently.
You will reach a much higher level of pleasure.
It is, in truth, a splendorous cascade."
- This term, Bride of Christ. - Yes... Sorry.
Well, you may laugh, but there are many who say
that you are the one that coined that phrase concerning Asa.
No, however I'm the one who was responsible for teaching
that the congregation is not the Bride of Jesus.
This is what is very...
Was it the spring of '99? Helge asks us to come by.
He wanted to share something that God had revealed to him.
Before we even got there, we had this feeling,
"We're going to experience something special. What can it be?"
So he started by telling us that everyone is loved by God.
God loves every individual, 100%.
But God has favorites.
There are people that he loves more than others.
And after he held this 45-60 minute briefing,
he explained that God had revealed to him
that Asa was elected for something special.
We didn't know what. We just know that this was so.
And then we were sent home, more or less
to pray for this, to ask God and wait and see.
And we will find out what is true and what is false.
My only prayer
is that in this message we have received
it will become visible to us who God is.
And then I'll be happy when I see how we stand before Him.
And love him.
There are interpretations in the Bible
that suggest that the Bride is a human being.
That she existed, that she would come and so on.
Not all traditional Christianity says that it's a congregation.
And the Bible definitely doesn't say that.
I think it started when I felt that I would like to buy a ring
that would serve as a sign for myself
that I promised to be faithful to God.
I remember that I said it would be like an engagement.
I hope that I'm not terribly wrong when I say
that I think I actually bought that ring.
That was when I, before God,
have this moment of... a confirmation of what I believed.
The ring represents a covenant with God and Helge is with me.
It's, "Holy cow, the congregation is the Bride of Christ".
The accepted norm within the Pentecostal movement
is that the congregation is the Bride of Christ.
And that's not strange, because Paul says,
"I have betrothed you as a virgin with Christ."
So what Paul says is, the congregation is a bride.
But Helge gets stuck into Psalm 45.
And Psalm 45 has a huge impact on the whole Knutby situation.
It doesn't say congregation in the Bible. That's an interpretation.
And then it's described as a wedding
between what is very clearly Jesus and a bride.
I've had one theory and it's the classical one
that the congregation is the bride,
but we discovered that this was not the case.
She gave Helge Fossmo the task
of finding out everything about the bride.
And Helge Fossmo was very compliant.
They were very close at that time.
He understood what she wanted and he had this trait
in their relationship, he wanted to make her happy.
"Yes, maybe that's it!" This amazement.
So they had this very special and strange
and actually unhappy, closeness to each other.
The truth is, we are not the Bride of Jesus.
Jesus is not going to marry millions of men and women.
We are wedding guests at a wedding.
Well, maybe Jesus is going to marry.
Maybe there is a queen. Maybe there is a physical person.
And as far as we know this is what he said to Asa.
"If the bride is a human being then it must be you."
I don't think Asa Waldau would have ended up where she is
if she didn't have Helge Fossmo by her side.
And I don't think that Helge Fossmo would have ended up where he is
if he hadn't met Asa Waldau.
They were like pouring petrol on a fire for each other, I think.
UPPSALA DISTRICT COURT
Take it easy.
The court was shown a crime reconstruction video
of how the nanny shot her victims in Knutby.
This caused the nanny to break down and leave the courtroom in tears.
I go inside and close the door carefully,
but leave it open just a little bit.
I don't close the door fully.
And in my pocket I've got...
I have four extra bullets.
I've also got my asthma inhaler and a torch.
I have my mobile phone. I have my galoshes that I left outside
and I've got extra gloves.
I hold the revolver in my left hand.
My right hand is free.
When I come into the utility room, I listen to see if it's quiet.
And then I walk slowly...
towards the utility room door that was closed.
I open it slowly and quietly.
Everyone likes Sara.
She's a really charming, funny, intelligent and forward girl.
And she's very... How do I put it?
She's very eager to please.
She's always willing to help and she's very caring.
It must have been around 2000, 2001,
Sara is given a more prominent role.
Not in the congregation, I wouldn't say that,
but in relation to Asa and Helge especially.
She becomes a person that somehow...
I won't say she swallows it,
but she takes this Bride of Christ idea very seriously
and takes a strong position on it in relation to Asa.
Which means that she's given a role
that places her close to Asa and Helge.
Helge has... Ever since I moved there,
he has been very spiritual, if I can put it that way.
Spectacular things happen around him.
And he took on this role like a warrior in battle.
A battle for... If Asa really is the Bride of Christ,
if there are people for this there will be forces against it.
If this is what perfects creation
that Jesus gets his woman, then the Devil's spiritual power
will get in the way of her reaching her destination.
And Sara joined him in that quest.
This is all positive at first,
but slowly and surely... You get the feeling
that Sara overtakes Asa at one stage.
Asa is very happy that Sara and Helge pray
and embark on a spiritual quest for Asa.
But soon it's not about Asa anymore.
Helge is saying it's about something more important.
Asa becomes jealous. If there's one thing you should avoid,
it's making Asa jealous.
If she gets jealous... the gates of hell open.
All of a sudden Sara became wrong.
Asa says that she is wrong.
She has become a temptress.
She's no longer the person she used to be.
Asa created a theology on this.
Prior to this, Sara had been a support for Helge.
But now Sara was a temptation that Helge would have to overcome.
Sara fell into disfavor with Asa.
Falling into disfavor with Asa means everyone else turns against you too.
Everyone else did the same. We turned our backs on Sara.
She was with Helge. He was good for her.
He took care of her and anyway, she was wrong.
So we were active in creating
this void that she ended up in, together with Helge.
That's when I think she really fell apart
and everyone was against her.
GOD I BEG FOR MERCY!
MERCY!
Regarding the Bride... we're waiting for the return of Jesus.
We believe that the world will end one day.
I wish that I could say otherwise, but I believe that.
I wish that everyone would believe that too. That's all that I long for.
We're living in the last time. Our time here is soon over.
Jesus will return.
If you have lost your way, if you're on the wrong side of the person,
who's entering a union with Him, you're pretty much finished.
This means that you are lost when your time here is over.
You don't have much time left to change.
What happens if it's too late?
You've completely missed the point. You'll end up in hell.
I mean it when I say that it was a matter of life and death.
You want to go to heaven. That was the whole objective.
Asa Waldau didn't say in court that she was the Bride of Christ.
Neither did she say what her role was.
The police and prosecutor don't seem interested.
They say it has nothing to do with it.
But on the other hand, it's not surprising,
because this is all pretty complicated,
but it's possible to grasp at the trial.
Helge Fossmo conspired to murder his wife
and his mistress's husband. He got Sara Svensson to shoot them.
Asa Waldau's sister Alexandra is found murdered.
And she's actually in London.
As for the police and prosecutor, she's a victim with an alibi.
Absolutely, but even if she was in London,
she's always here.
The leader of the congregation. Bride of Christ.
She's the most important person on earth for all of these people.
Every waking second, every breath they take, is for her.
She permeates everything.
Asa Waldau's power relationship
over Sara Svensson hasn't been investigated.
And Asa is still Sara's leader.
- But this power relationship? - That has been investigated.
They came a long way with that.
Text messages, interviews, phone calls.
There are police interviews with these people
where they touch upon the Bride of Christ,
but where all but one person is lying.
They all say, "We don't believe in any Bride of Christ."
- So it's difficult, obviously. - The question is, would they talk?
No, but there is one person that they have gotten through to.
That is Sara. She talked about Helge, her pastor.
It's a pity they didn't focus more
on Sara's relationship with Asa and ask more questions about that.
It was like reading from a horror novel
when the nanny gave her crucial testimony.
The pastor followed the proceedings from another room,
as his presence might interfere with the nanny's testimony.
Tell the court about what happened in Vaggeryd.
Okay.
While I was in Vaggeryd, I received an anonymous text message.
This is what the message said,
"It could have been over in 12 hours, but it's still not too late for you.
Before the 25th, you can still set him and her free.
A high price, yes. You can do it."
For the protocol, Your Honor, can you say what she's reading from?
She's still reading from her own notes.
He wasn't allowed in the courtroom
when Sara gave her extremely long testimony,
which she had written down in great detail, like a long story.
She felt that his presence would affect her.
What amazed me was the number of details in her testimony.
She had written down the minutest details,
to even the sound of snow under her shoe.
This may sound like I was very naive
and perhaps I was, but I have to say that Helge...
He really played the part.
He explained to me that this was the path I had to take.
I had to kill Alexandra. I had to carry this out.
I believed him. I trusted Helge.
And you see, if you've lived so close to someone
and all you've seen is love, you've only heard good words...
And I asked him, "Did you send those text messages to me?"
And Helge became angry, "How could you accuse me?"
So I trusted him.
PSYCHIATRIC REPORT
While she's under interrogation, prior to the trial,
Sara is also undergoing a forensic psychiatric evaluation.
She is deemed mentally ill eventually, isn't that right?
The 26-year-old woman has undergone
a minor forensic psychiatric evaluation.
She was suffering from a serious mental condition
at the time of the crimes.
"You get the impression she's willing to please.
She's easy to control. She doesn't seem to have an inner self, an identity."
This is interesting too.
"It seems that Sara Svensson's obvious ability to please others
works too in the interrogation situation.
And the normality we see is a mirror image of the environment she's in."
This is interesting because it means it's not specific
to Sara and the Knutby environment.
- Then she sees the psychologists. - Yes.
- She tells them what they want to hear. - Yes.
This is going on while she is under interrogation.
She's in a different environment for a period of three or four months.
Yes.
You wonder, does she behave the same way there?
Is she giving the police the answers that she thinks they want to hear?
I've read the three police interviews. The police say at one point,
"Did you call him?"
They want to find who did what.
She says, "I don't remember exactly, but I say I can't do it and I turn back.
I remember that I call him and tell him that."
"Not according to our phone records." "Okay."
"Mm, are you sure you remember correctly?"
"No, I'm guessing. But if it was explained to me,
then maybe I'd remember correctly. I can't really say."
"According to our phone records, Helge called you."
"Mm, okay. Well, then that's how it was."
It's quite unsettling when you read it like that.
Can one be delusional and still speak the truth?
Yes, I'm convinced that one can.
In my opinion, her testimony is credible.
We've been able to verify quite a lot.
Interrogating officers were at first surprised
that she could commit murder.
She's kind-hearted, nice, gentle, warm.
And somehow she has done something that...
She committed a crime that she has confessed to.
I think a lot of people find this hard to believe.
There isn't a lot of time left...
Sara was both under interrogation
and undergoing a psychiatric evaluation at the same time.
Did that influence your view of her at all?
No.
Some of the interviews were conducted in conjunction with the evaluation.
Okay. Yes, that's... Yes, that's possible.
Could one have influenced the other,
the psychiatric evaluation conducted at the same time as the interrogation?
Isn't there a risk that they might infect each other or get mixed up?
We don't know what the forensic psychiatrists are doing.
They conduct their interviews with her and we conduct ours.
We do our own thing.
Anton, you read from one of the three interviews was in dialogue form,
but all the other interviews, all 18, are summaries.
It's like the police have given their own interpretation of what went on.
And I've found an example from interview number 13.
It went on from 11:00 a.m. until 16:30 p.m.
- Five and a half hours. - Summarized in four pages.
We must remember that one hour of interview equals about ten pages.
So this should be roughly 55 pages long.
- Yes, and we've got four? - We've got four.
That's what I call a summary.
We'll never know what went on during those five and a half hours.
Well, Sara...
this revolver that you got to hold before the crime scene reconstruction,
how does it feel compared to the other one?
It feels heavier.
And bigger.
And then I receive the next text message,
"You need to make your decision. Don't think about if.
Find a safe solution. You are proving your love
when you set him free. He needs that. He has almost reached his limit."
Solution. I have to find a safe solution.
I have to find a solution that I can handle.
I didn't know how much I could handle.
I'm small. I'm frail.
How am I supposed to find a solution to bring Alexandra home?
And then Helge says, in passing,
"Well, you call sell your shares and buy a weapon."
"You will prove your love by releasing him.
He needs this. He has almost reached his limit."
- What do you mean by that? - Once again, I'm being pastoral.
Because this is...
The Book of Job tells us that God always has his witness.
The Letter to the Romans tells us
that Jesus sits on the right hand of the Father... Let me finish!
Sara says that she needs to decide if it's a weapon.
I fully understand her explanation.
I know it's difficult for you to understand.
You're not used to thinking in Biblical terms.
I'll elaborate a bit.
But isn't it true to say that you have no explanation
because what Sara says is the truth?
What Sara says is not the truth. I have an explanation for that.
Anyone that wants to understand can understand.
This is what it was like in the courtroom.
Her testimony was allowed to unfold undisturbed, while he...
they were much harder on him.
Sara's testimony set the tone in the evidence against him.
So they let her speak.
She could talk about her feelings, her behavior and so on.
After a while I met Farid.
An older man from Morocco at Plattan, Sergels Torg, Stockholm.
I ask him if he knows of anyone who sells guns.
At first, he says that he doesn't.
And I think I start crying because I'm at my wits' end.
And then I say that a friend of mine is in danger
and she needs something that will protect her.
She's putting a lot of thought into
what the text messages are encouraging her to do.
She goes to Plattan,
because she knows that's where she'll find what she needs.
Sergels Torg in Stockholm.
She's given a gun, or she buys a gun,
and then she learns to shoot it. She's given some instructions.
It's still a bit of a mystery how this young girl
pulled this off without being tricked.
Well, she was tricked in a way, but she's wasn't harmed
even though she mixed with these people.
I learnt that I should put my finger further in.
And this gave me the strength to pull the trigger.
Because after all, a girl's fingers are not very strong.
On the 19th, I sell even more shares
because on the 18th, I lost 15,000 krona.
Someone tricked me and I needed more money to buy a gun.
And I did that.
How credible is this story?
- You mean how she got hold of the gun? - Yes.
It isn't any more credible than anything else in this investigation.
Everything is possible and impossible.
Take the aspect of religion, everything is so abstract.
All this stuff that they're imagining,
but the whole congregation really believed in this stuff.
It made it difficult for journalists, and probably the judiciary,
to poke a hole in their reasoning.
How do you do that? How do you question something that doesn't exist?
"The car owned by Sara's father, which Sara uses, is parked 100 meters
from the scene on the night of the murder in a wooded area.
As it had snowed a few days earlier, police could easily detect
footprints around the car.
It was concluded that Sara had never walked from where the car was parked.
She had only walked to the car after the murder."
"Knutby, a travesty of justice."
Yes. "An extremely good memory."
- Dick Sundevall wrote this. - Yes.
The first thing I reacted to was
what Sara says about the tracks in the snow to and from her car.
That didn't add up.
Sara walked from the car and back.
It's very clear from this picture. What is this?
I read the forensics report,
the coroner's report and police interviews.
She can't explain how Alexandra Fossmo was murdered.
She drew sketches of where she parked the car.
She walked the same route to and from the crime scene.
- Look here, in the same tracks. - Yes, indeed. I think we need a map.
This is what the police presented and this is Sara's own sketch.
Like this... Parking area. Parking area. Here's the road.
She illustrates how she walked here and took the same route back.
- That's what she says. - She starts and finishes here.
- But the police say it started here. - That's quite a difference.
Yes, the tracks to the car.
This has been used as evidence in court. Everyone has seen it.
The prosecutor, the lawyers.
You would expect there to be questions about this.
Number one. These two accounts don't add up.
Number two. Why do the tracks start in one spot and end in another?
Precisely.
Over there. That's where the tracks begin.
- Inside that pole there. - Right beside the telephone pole.
And there's a hill there. You can see Asa's house behind it.
- Yes. - It must be...
There's a car coming...
- She must have come up here. - Yes.
Up this hill.
And then here, where we're standing.
In this direction.
So after the crime, someone definitely walked here.
But on their way to the crime from the car, no one.
One would imagine that during the trial
someone would ask, "Did you get a lift?"
Mm, indeed.
As if someone drops her here.
And then drives up there, parks the car and waits.
For her until she's finished.
But well...
I walk in without hesitating... over here.
Here I raise the revolver and point it towards the body.
I pull the trigger.
I hear Alexandra cry out rather faintly,
but she doesn't move at all. She's lying completely still.
After firing the shot, I quickly move over here.
I aim for the head and fire the second shot.
- How far is that? - This is wrong.
This doesn't correspond with what the police say.
It doesn't add up.
And then a strange silence
envelopes the room.
Yes.
And I'm still not sure that I succeeded in shooting her,
so I take two steps forward...
This is the last shot.
And I aim once more at her head.
- How far is that? - That's wrong too.
Yes, Dick Sundevall was of the same opinion.
"Sara said that she stood by the side of the bed
and fired from between one and a half and two meters."
That doesn't tally with the forensics report.
I was just looking at that. It says here,
"Two shots were fired from the gun
directly towards the bedspread over Alexandra's head,
So-called close contact range."
It says in the autopsy report that these shots were fatal.
Close contact? What's the definition?
Yes, well, let's see.
"The gun has been in contact or in close contact with the target."
Like this, or this possibly, in close contact.
- Yes. How far away is she, a meter? - A meter.
But the shot before that... also close contact.
She's on the other side of the bed. That's two meters away.
- That's not close contact. - No, none of this adds up.
Maybe that's why the prosecutor brings this up in her closing argument.
Here.
The parts of her testimony that could be verified were shown to be true,
except one point. That is the one relating to the distance
from which the shots to Alexandra's head were fired.
The forensics report states that the shots
are so-called close contact shots, which means
that the revolver was held against, or close to the head when fired.
Sara states that the shots were fired from a distance
of at least half a meter.
An explanation as to why Sara may be mistaken about the distance
is that it was relatively dark in the bedroom.
Also, Alexandra had both the duvet and bedspread over her head,
which made estimating the distance difficult.
Another explanation may be that it felt awful
to hold a gun to someone's head
and therefore she suppressed this memory afterwards.
Regardless of the reason, Sara's incorrect account on this detail
does not diminish the credibility of her testimony.
It's interesting that she calls it "a detail".
In this interview from January 13,
the police ask Sara where she's standing,
"Two meters from the headboard maybe. Or 1.5, I'm not sure.
That's when I fire the second shot.
"Towards?" They ask. "Towards the head," she says.
How far was the barrel from her head at that point?
One to one and a half meters maybe.
You know that the interrogating officer knows
that the forensics report says something else.
He says, "You say you feel unsure of yourself with this gun and aim."
"Yes", says Sara. "Did you plan on going up close and firing?"
A leading question.
She says, "I would find it hard to press it against her head."
And she goes on, but the point is, this is a person
that goes out of her way to please people,
but on this single important point she is not people-pleasing.
And we know that she is extremely good at remembering things.
The prosecutor says that she may have suppressed this.
It's interesting that when she doesn't remember, she must have suppressed it.
In the single most important moment of this act,
when those fatal shots are fired,
she doesn't succeed in giving a correct account of events.
And I think...
putting a gun here, or very close,
at close contact range, can you really suppress something like that?
Let's agree with the prosecutor, this is just "a detail",
but it still doesn't explain the first shot.
Because if we are to believe what Sara says,
she shoots Alexandra in the hip.
That shot is not fatal and it doesn't even wake her.
Yes, it seems like she doesn't even move
from the time the first shot is fired.
She lies completely still and then she's shot in the head.
Precisely.
Let's say you were run over by a car.
You don't feel a lot of pain immediately,
because the adrenalin kicks in, but she was shot with a revolver
that according to the forensics report,
produced a sound level of 102.9 dB, at the lowest.
It's like switching on a power saw,
drilling a hole in a wall, or starting a disco.
It should wake her.
One month earlier she woke up when she was hit on the head with a hammer.
So why doesn't Alexandra wake up a month later
when she's shot in the hip?
There is no mention of this in court.
We can sit here discussing it,
but these questions should have been asked in court.
Here's a person that has been shot in the hip and doesn't wake up.
But it's like...
Sara confesses so... "This is what happened."
I didn't want to do it. I really didn't want to do...
what I did.
I had no personal motive. Who did?
Who was the driving force behind all of this?
Well...
