When the 25-year-old woman did not come home after a night out leading up to Boxing Day, her parents were forced to go out and search for their family member themselves, as the police reportedly showed no interest in going to the scene. At the same time, new information emerged revealing that the transgender alleged dismemberment murderer Vilma Andersson had not only managed to leave the crime scene but also continued her life as usual the following day by clocking into work early in the morning.

The woman was last seen around 1:30 a.m. at the commuter train station in Rönninge. At the time, she was caught on surveillance cameras, her mobile phone connected to a cell tower, and a witness in the area reportedly heard a woman’s screams.

Despite the family’s concern throughout the morning when their daughter still hadn’t come home, no police operation was initiated during the first hours of Boxing Day. The family therefore decided to issue a missing persons appeal on social media, but neither establishment media nor the police published the woman’s name and photo—something Samnytt, however, did during the search effort.

Only after relatives themselves searched the area around the train station and found the woman’s headphones, as well as objects such as a hammer, cable ties, and suspected cable tracks, did the police make an effort to look more closely at the report.

When the family’s discoveries were sent to the National Forensic Centre (NFC), analyses matched both fingerprints and DNA. The police then had 26-year-old Vilma Andersson as the suspect. A convicted child kidnapper and pedophile who had previously threatened prison staff with murder and was found in possession of images of dead female bodies.

Vilma Andersson has protected personal information, but Samnytt was able to reveal over the weekend that he had chosen a female name, despite the fact that this information is classified. The name is also almost identical to Wilma Andersson, who was dismembered in Uddevalla in 2019.

On Wednesday, Expressen reported that Vilma Andersson continued with life as usual the night after the 25-year-old woman disappeared from the Rönninge commuter train station. It was not until nearly 11 a.m. on Saturday that the police contacted the prosecutor and decided that Andersson should be arrested in absentia.

The suspected dismemberment murderer had been at work since around 6 or 7 a.m. and is said to have worked for eight hours preparing food supplies that were later distributed to restaurants in Stockholm. This involved slicing and dicing fruit and vegetables, which he then delivered.

According to a person with insight at the company whom Expressen contacted, the suspected murderer was sitting, made up with makeup, in the shared lunchroom that same day.

— Many found him to be odd and strange. He doesn’t make eye contact with those he meets, a witness told Expressen.

During the morning, police launched a surveillance operation to locate and track him. The surveillance continued for a total of ten hours.

By that time, Vilma Andersson had already finished his shift and was moving freely in society. It was not until late Saturday evening, when he was in a wooded area burying body parts, that the police chose to intervene and arrest him.

When the murder is believed to have taken place remains unclear. According to the remand hearing request, it may have occurred either on Friday or Saturday. But police do not know where. Either in Rönninge after the woman disappeared from the commuter train station, or “at another unknown location in Stockholm.”

Police source: “Really sick”

Samnytt has been in contact with an officer from the Police Authority who is critical of the operation and expresses concern that management allowed a person like Vilma Andersson—convicted of attempting to kidnap a ten-year-old girl, convicted of threatening prison staff with murder, and possessing images of dead women—could move freely during a ten-hour surveillance operation, while the woman was still missing without a trace.

— One can also question the ten-hour surveillance on this unstable individual. There is already a history proving he is extremely disturbed and dangerous. If the priority is to save lives, one should act, the officer says, and continues:

— It would be really sick if he murdered and dismembered her while we were on surveillance outside. We should have located him through his phone fairly quickly and acted. But, well, the investigation will have to show what was good and bad.
