The Wife-Murder at Felestad

about 1 h 30 min · 1–4 players

The village of Felestad in Skåne, late summer 1745. The tenant farmer on the homestead had married his neighbour's widow, but the farm fell into ruin and he turned to the bottle ever more often. On the evening of 28 August he beat his wife so badly with a stake that she died the following day, and the district court found the blow to have been deliberate. A real case from Swedish legal history: the district court's inquiry, the Göta Court of Appeal's confirmed judgment, and the execution at the gallows hill in Annelöv on 5 March 1746. Everyone involved has been dead for more than two hundred years, and everything in the record comes from public documents — the sources accompany the case.
