The Murder at Hangvar

about 1 h 45 min · 1–4 players

Gotland, autumn 1831. The old retired farmhand Hans Andersson Tejnungs walks toward the forest land at Hangvar and does not come home again; he is found dead among the trees, and the tracks lead to the people of his own parish. The farmer of the homestead, his wife, the parish shoemaker and his apprentice are brought to trial, and on 16 January 1833 the sentence is passed at Endre backe — but one of the four escapes. A real case from Gotland's legal history: the real investigation, the real sentence and the real execution. All those involved have been dead for more than one hundred and eighty years, and everything in the record comes from church archives and public documents — the sources accompany the case.
