The Kvallan Murder

about 1 h 30 min · 1–4 players

Kvallan in Huddunge parish, Västmanland, 1 June 1878. The farmer Anders Larsson kills his wife Anna Kristina Ersdotter; she is pregnant, and he sees no way to support both her and the expected child. He is sentenced to death, and under the 1877 law executions are thereafter carried out within the walls: on 13 February 1879 he becomes the first in Sweden to be beheaded behind the prison gates. A real case from Swedish legal history: the trial in Västmanland, the death sentence and the first execution no longer permitted to be seen by the people. All those involved have been dead for more than a hundred years, and everything comes from public records — the sources accompany the case.
