Swede jailed for holding woman captive in bunker
Print Edition
A SWEDISH court yesterday sentenced a doctor to 10 years in prison for drugging and kidnapping a woman, meticulously planning her abduction in the hopes of keeping her in a specially-built bunker for years.
The 38-year-old general practitioner passed himself off as an American when he met the woman for the first time on September 10 at her Stockholm apartment, after making initial contact online for a date.
Two days later, he returned to her place with champagne, strawberries and juice laced with sedatives. Once she was unconscious, he drove her 550 kilometers from Stockholm to his home near Kristianstad in the south.
He then locked the woman into what the prosecution described as an above-ground “bunker” he had built in his yard, which resembled a garden shed.
The man held the woman in the bunker for six days. With the woman detained, he returned to Stockholm where he learned that police were searching for her.
He then decided to drive the woman to a police station in central Stockholm to assure authorities that she was safe, but police became suspicious and arrested him.
