Lindgren was released on July 28, and is now on probation after nine years served. On August 22, he was hit in the head with a golf club. The investigation to find Hagamannen was one of the largest ever in Sweden. More than 30 policemen worked full-time to catch the serial rapist, but the investigation met some setbacks. For example:.

On 31 March at 3 p. For security reasons the hearing took place in the secure courtroom. A suspect can be held for an indefinite period of time prior to a trial, but the police and prosecutor have to show cause for this at arraignment hearings which have to be held at regular intervals.
A suspect is allowed to request a defense attorney, Lindgren in this case requested Leif Silbersky , who was appointed as his public defender by the Umeå District Court. Niklas Lingren was charged with four counts of assault, four counts of rape and two counts of attempted murder. A person suspected of a serious offence and who is awaiting trial is normally held by the Swedish Prison and Probation Service.
The suspect is normally not allowed any visitors or to communicate with the outside world, with the exception of his attorney, until the trial is concluded. The suspect is allowed to read books and magazines with the exception of material covering the case against the suspect. The reasoning for incarceration and isolation is that the suspect might resort to further crime, try to influence witnesses, alter his or her own statements or glean information useful for when he or she goes through a psychiatric evaluation.
The case received extensive coverage in Swedish newspapers and on Swedish television.
Sheriff: Chanhassen Murder Victim Found by His Parents
During the years many people, mainly women in the city of Umeå , were afraid to walk alone at night. The Swedish newspaper Expressen published the name of the suspect together with his photograph shortly after his arrest by the police. A photograph of Lindgren was featured side-by-side with a composite sketch released by the police on the cover of the newspaper the day after his arrest. The publication of the name and photograph of the suspect has been criticized by some since it can hamper the police investigation, reduce the evidentiary value of a police lineup for the cases where there is no other physical evidence and since it causes emotional suffering for the victims, the suspect's family and friends, and the suspect himself if he is later acquitted.
The editor of the newspaper defended the publication, stating that it could prompt other victims to report assaults, that the suspect was in custody, that there was a strong interest from the public who have a right to know the purpose of the journalist , and that the evidence against the suspect in this case is especially damning. When he became aware of the publication through his lawyer Leif Silbersky , Lindgren reported the publication to the Press Ombudsman , who can decide to bring the matter before the Swedish Press Council.
The Swedish Press Countil will then offer an opinion on whether the publication was in line with good journalistic practice. The publication of the name and photograph of the suspect in this case can be compared to the murder of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh in where the daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter choose to publish the name of the suspect who was later convicted while he was still at large.
The publication at that time was justified by the newspaper since the killer was at large and that the police had already released a photograph to aid in his capture, a practice which was also done with the Malexander police killers Tony Olsson , Andreas Axelsson and Jackie Arklöv.
