Öland, 21 February 1835. At Crown Farm No. 8 in Kolstad, the farmer's wife Lisa Nilsdotter lies dead and bloody in the yard, and her husband is missing. He is arrested the following morning on a forest road and at first denies everything — but the household had quarrelled for years, and the axe was left lying in the front hall. A real case from Öland's legal history: the real investigation, the real verdict and the real execution on Köping's cliff on 17 August 1836. Everyone involved has been dead for nearly two hundred years, and everything in the file comes from the parish register and the district court records — the sources are included with the case.
