On Tuesday, 2 May 1865, the crofter's wife at Edsåker village in Ljustorp parish was shot through the left breast, and her husband had been away all day. Four people were taken into custody: a travelling tailor, the victim's husband, his housekeeper in the neighbouring house, and a boatswain who worked as a smith in the village. Discord had long prevailed between the spouses, and according to the court it was reasons of money and revenge that drove the deed. A real case from Medelpad's legal history: the verdict in July 1865 led to the last execution in Västernorrland, at Kallbäcken in February 1866.
