Student faked mental illness

A SWEDISH art student was fined 2,500 kronor (€245) for faking mental illness for an art project.

Stockholm District Court convicted 35-year-old Anna Odell of violent resistance and dishonest conduct, but acquitted her of charges of raising a false alarm.

The court said Odell resisted attempts by police and hospital staff to restrain her while acting suicidal on a bridge in Stockholm in January.
