Sweden: Iranian welfare recipient stabs 9-year-old girl and her grandmother – He allegedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” while doing so

36-year-old Milad Salari is charged with the attempted murder of a nine-year-old girl in Gothenburg in March this year. The prosecutor submitted his application to the Gothenburg District Court today. Milad had repeatedly stabbed the girl and her grandmother in front of numerous witnesses.

At lunchtime on March 2 this year, a nine-year-old girl goes to the Filmstaden Bergakungen cinema to watch the film Bamse with her grandmother and grandfather. The girl is from Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where she and her parents live, and the group is waiting for the streetcar at Brunnsparken in Gothenburg.

Suddenly a man comes running, grabs the girl and stabs her several times with a knife. She suffers several severe knife wounds, including in the stomach, neck, back and chest. The girl’s grandmother, who tries to intervene, is also stabbed.

The police arrives in Brunnsparken and arrests the knifeman. His name is Milad Salari and he is already known to the police. Milad has already been convicted of a variety of crimes, including several thefts and two burglaries. He has already been to prison several times.

Milad Salari is from Iran – a country where he has spent most of the last year. He traveled there in the early spring of 2022 and did not return until seven months later, in September of that year. Iranian authorities reportedly tried to prevent Milad from returning to Sweden because he had not completed his military service in his home country.

Originally, there were reports that Milad should have shouted “Allahu akbar” when he stabbed the girl. These were allegations that were not part of the police investigation.

According to personal and police information, Milad lives on welfare, has no income and debts of over €30,000 .

Milad Salari suffers from a psychotic disorder, and according to his psychiatrists, he may have a schizophrenic disorder. On the day of the stabbings, he had visited a doctor with his mother.

– It was a good conversation, carefully recorded, and he was not psychotic, the psychiatrist said about the visit.

-His behavior was appropriate and there was nothing suicidal or psychotic or anything obvious like looking away and hearing voices or anything like that. He was fully engaged in the conversation. He was friendly and there were no problems. So it is very shocking to find out what he did later.
