The Laser Murders launchedthe countries second-largest police investigation ever, just behind the hunt in 1986 for Prime Minister Olof Palme´s assassin.
After ten months a foreign man called John Ausonius was arrested under dramatic circumstances fitting to a hollywood blockbuster. He was sentenced to life time in prison. After almost ten years silence in prison, John Ausonius suddenly admitted tonot only the laser attacks as well as to twenty bank robberies.
