about 1 h 15 min · 1–4 players

Östra Sallerup parish in Skåne, December 1860. The farmer Anders Persson comes home from a journey and grows steadily worse; he dies in his home at Årröd no. 2, and the priest writes in the death register that he was done away with by his wife by means of arsenic poisoning. Once she is arrested, she also confesses to another murder, that of her first husband. A real case from Swedish legal history, in which two men died by the same hand. Everyone involved has been dead for more than a hundred years, and everything in the file comes from death registers, prison journals, contemporary press and local heritage research, whose sources accompany the case.
