The Patricide at Grimsta

about 1 h 15 min · 1–4 players

Grimsta in Spånga parish, the fourth day of Christmas 1766. The old district court judge Erik Mattson comes home from the church service and steps out of the sleigh, and at that same moment a shot falls from the guest house. He lies face down by the farm gate with his mittens still on his hands and the whip in his hand, but speak he cannot. In the guest house his son has locked himself in with a loaded gun. A real case from Stockholm's older legal history: the inquest in the Spånga parish hall, the witnesses, the weapon and the verdict are in the records of the Sollentuna district court. Everyone involved has been dead for more than two hundred years, and everything in the file comes from public documents — the sources accompany the case.
