June 26, 1972 - Niklas Lindgren

Kurt Niklas Lindgren (born 26 June 1972, in Sörmjöle, Umeå Municipality), known in the media prior to his arrest as Hagamannen ("The Haga Man"), is a convicted Swedish serial rapist. Lindgren was convicted of nine counts of sexual assault in 2006, two of which were labeled attempted murder, in relation to attacks in the city of Umeå from 1998 to 2005.

Lindgren was identified and arrested by the Swedish police after they received a tip from the public on 29 March 2006. His DNA matched the DNA previously secured from the victims. On 22 April Lindgren confessed to six of the assaults. On 19 July he was convicted of eight assaults by the Umeå District Court and sentenced to 14 years in prison.
