Doctor laced strawberries with rape drugs

After he drugged and raped his victim, he then kept her in a secret dungeon

A doctor in Sweden has been accused of drugging and raping a woman he’d been keeping in a secret, underground bunker.

The doctor – who has been described as the “Swedish Fritzel” – is alleged to have drugged the 38-year-old woman with Rohypnol-laced strawberries in Stockholm, before driving her more than 550 kilometres to his bunker in the south of Sweden.

The 38-year-old doctor wore rubber masks of bearded and elderly men to avoid being recognised.

Swedish newspaper Kvallsposten reported the doctor was a “very unhappy man. He has no girlfriend. He has built this building, then he has taken a person to be his girlfriend”.

Police say he spent several years building the concrete dungeon which he had equipped with a kitchen – including a afully stocked fridge -, toilet and bedroom, SMH reports.

The dungeon had double security doors and was both sound and light-proof.

When police searched the dungeon, they allegedly found an Ikea pine bed, a desk and a kitchen area with a sink and hot plate, reports Swedish news site Aftonbladet.

Police believe he was planning to kidnap other women.
