Westman made a final suicide note to their family and friends before attac:king the Catholic Church.
The letter, which was documented in a now-deleted YouTube video, began with an apology.
“I don’t expect forgiveness, and I don’t expect any apology,” they wrote. “I have to hold much weight. But to my family and those close to me, I do apologise for the effects my actions will have on your lives.
“Please know I care for all of you so much, and it pains me to bring this storm of chaos into your lives. This will affect so many more people than the ones that are immediately involved.”
Westman then discussed their mental health difficulties, saying, “Please don’t believe you’ve failed as parents. This world corrupted me, and I’ve come to despise life. Life is filled with both joy and sadness.
“I am tired of the pain this world gives out. Please move on and continue to give your love to brothers and sisters, and the rest of the world. They may not forgive you, but you need to move on from me. Forget my life and the pain I have brought.”
