The Poisoning at Väse

about 1 h 15 min · 1–4 players

Glumserud in Väse parish, Värmland. In 1839 a young son finally stands trial for putting poison in his parents' food: the mother died, the father in the house survived. The district court sentences him to death, two clemency petitions soften the sentence, and in November he is taken to the Väse hundred execution site. A real case from Värmland's legal history: the contemporary newspaper report, the guilty verdict, the pardon and the beheading. 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.
