About Sture Bergwall
- Sture Ragnar Bergwall (born 26 April 1950), also known as Thomas Quick in 1993–2002, is a Swedish man previously believed to have been a serial killer, having confessed to more than 30 murders while incarcerated in a mental institution for personality disorders.
- Between 1994 and 2001, Quick was convicted of eight of these murders.
- However, he withdrew all of his confessions in 2008, as a result of which his murder convictions were quashed, the final one in July 2013, and he was released from hospital.
- The episode raised issues about how murder convictions could have been obtained on such weak evidence, and has been called the largest miscarriage of justice in Swedish history.
- Journalists Hannes RÃ¥stam and Dan Josefsson published TV documentaries and books about the murder cases; they claimed that bad therapy led to false confessions.
- Dan Josefsson claims that a "cult"-like group led by psychologist Margit Norell manipulated the police and talked Sture Bergwall into false confessions.
