40 years ago, a woman was found dismembered under a highway in Stockholm. It was the beginning of what would become Sweden's strangest and most controversial legal process: the Catrine da Costa case. The two doctors Teet Härm and Thomas Allgén were identified as guilty of the dismemberment. But how did the legal system actually come to the conclusion that they were guilty?
Lars Thomas Allgén is a Swedish general practitioner. He was charged with murder of Catrine da Costa in 1984. On 23 May 1989, the Swedish authority for medical-negligence assessment rescinded the doctors', Thomas Allgén and Teet Härm, right to work, and its ruling was upheld in a 1991 appeal.
