about 1 h 30 min · 1–4 players

Sotholm hundred in Södertörn, New Year 1829. At the boatswain's croft in Gudö in Österhaninge, the farmer Olof Jansson is found beaten to death with an axe, and suspicion falls on his son-in-law, the young man of the house. On 26 June 1830 the condemned man is beheaded and quartered at Sotholm hundred's execution site at Galgstenen in Jordbro — the same place where the hundred's condemned have lost their lives since the Middle Ages, and an ancient monument numbered Österhaninge 502:1. A real case from Swedish legal history: the real investigation, the real suspects and the real verdict, with the sources in the file.
