Burträsk parish in Västerbotten, the night of 5 March 1821. The farmer Olof Rönnberg of Åbyn no. 9 is beaten to death near his farm after a drinking party, but before he dies he manages to say the name of his killer. Two soldiers had an old grudge against him over the rote allowances, and only one of them confesses in the end. A real case from Swedish legal history: the actual investigation, the interrogations and the verdict. Everyone involved has been dead for more than two hundred years, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources are included with the case.
