The Poison Murders in Silbodal

about 2 h · 1–4 players

Silbodal parish in Värmland, autumn and winter 1864. Poor relief weighs on a poor forest district, and now and then an old and sick person dies shortly after the vicar has visited them with communion; in the death register age and cause are entered. Only when relatives of the former merchant Anders Lysén request exhumation and autopsy does it become clear that several of the dead carried arsenic in their bodies. A real case from Swedish legal history: the same investigation, the same suspects and the same verdict as in 1865.
