about 1 h 15 min · 1–4 players

Hössjö village in Umeå parish, Västerbotten, August 1852. The farmer Olof Olofsson is expected home from the Nybygget Håknäs but never arrives; he is found beaten to death on the footpath with the household's own axe. In the house live his daughter and her husband, and the dispute over the homestead and the division of the estate has run high for several years. A real case from Swedish legal history: the real investigation, the real confession and the real verdict. Everyone involved has been dead for more than a hundred and fifty years, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources accompany the case.
