Uppsala Castle and Skuttunge parish in Uppland, 1855. Erik Buhr sat in the prison tower, sentenced to death for drowning his father in a forest lake. For a long time it looked like an accident — the father had fallen overboard when the boat capsized, and no one had seen the son at the lake. Much later he went to the county sheriff himself and gave himself up, and on his own confession he was sentenced to lose his life by beheading. A real case from Swedish legal history, known through prison chaplain Bernhard Wadström's account: the real investigation, the real verdict and the real execution on 10 November 1855. Everyone involved has been dead for more than a century, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources accompany the case.
