Koppetorp in Frödinge parish and the gallows hill at Skillingarum, 1819–1820. A maid who had served in the widower's household and stood close to him is spurned when he turns to another woman. She puts arsenic in the sausage she hands him, and he dies. The verdict is passed, and she is taken to the gallows hill at Skillingarum to be beheaded and burned at the stake. A real case from Småland's legal history: the actual verdict and the actual execution. Everyone involved has been dead for more than a century, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources accompany the case.
