Original headnote (Swedish)

En i häkte intagen har hängt sig i sin cell sedan häktespersonal underlåtit att vid avvisitering ta hand om hans livrem. De efterlevandes skadeståndsanspråk har lämnats utan bifall eftersom omständigheterna inte var sådana att staten genom kriminalvården borde ha insett att det förelåg en verklig och omedelbar självmordsrisk.
