The Killing at Matarengi

about 1 h 30 min · 1–4 players

Matarengi in Övertorneå parish, Norrbotten, July 1833. Two deserters have fled from the 45th Russian Jaeger Regiment in Vasa and are terrorising the countryside around the Torne River. When the farmhand Per Johansson Pitkä sets out to arrest them, he meets his death by a knife — and a year later the man taken into custody is brought out to a temporary execution site at the foot of Mount Isovaara. A real case from Swedish legal history: the real investigation, the real knife wound and the real verdict. Everyone involved has been dead for more than a hundred years, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources accompany the case.
