about 2 h · 1–4 players

Late in the evening of 31 August 1874, shots rang out at a gate on the country road north of Malmköping. The civil engineer Herman Mauritz Upmark and his coachman Johan August Larsson had happened to get in the way of two men lying in ambush for the mail coach — who never got away with any loot. A real case from Swedish legal history: the same investigation, the same suspects and the same verdict, the one that led to Sweden's last public executions in May 1876. Everything in the file is drawn from contemporary newspapers, court records and serious historical writing — the sources follow with the case.
