Aboelazm was born in Äppelbo, Vansbro Municipality, Dalarna County, Sweden, to a Swedish mother and an Egyptian father.[1][2][3] He has two half-siblings on his mother's side and five half-siblings on his father's side.[2] One of his half-sisters is a neighbor to Sahbi Zalouti, one of the other suspects who was arrested in the same case.[2] He is unmarried and has no children.[2]

According to an article in Expressen, Aboelazm has Asperger syndrome.[3] In 2000 he was sentenced to psychiatric treatment after an assault in 1999 when he also made sexual advances against a 25-year-old woman.[4] He had then also molested a 23-year-old woman, a 16-year-old girl, a 13-year-old girl and three 15-year-old girls on six occasions.[4] During a psychiatric examination in 2002, doctors concluded that Aboelazm suffered from a "grave mental disorder" and was in need of "psychiatric treatment associated with deprivation of freedom or other coercion".[4]

While detained in Denmark he was suspected of planned new attacks as police found instructions to construct weaponry in his cell along with plans of public places.[5] After being transferred to Swedish prison, he received a number of warnings for refusing to work and disorderly conduct.[6]
