In the prosecutor's file it is stated he had beheaded his girlfriend and kept her head wrapped in plastic in a trolley. He pleaded not guilty to the charges, in spite of overwhelming evidence. At the time of prosecution, Andersson's body had not been found and therefore a cause of death could not be established.In mid July, the Swedish National Board of Forensic Medicine found that the accused did not suffer from a serious or invalidating mental illness, but rather showed what experts have described as narcissistic personality traits, ascribable to a narcissistic personality disorder, epitomized by a grandiose, inflated self which according to the psychiatric evaluation is neither consistent with what Tishko Ahmed Shabaz actually has accomplished throughout his life nor in line with factual reality and its objective perception. According to the examination, the defendant displayed as well a shallow and flat range of emotions, other than a remarkable lack of empathy.
During the trial, the accused denied guilt in her death.
July 27 he was found guilty in Uddevalla District Court of murder as well as violating the victim's corpse and named as Tishko Ahmed Shabaz. He was sentenced to life in prison. The convict was also ordered to pay 227 664 SEK in damages to Andersson's family. The convict continued to deny the accusations after the conclusion of the trial.
