Tjusta torp in Skånela parish, Uppland, 13 March 1803. The smith Carl Olsson Hjelmberg and the crofter Erik Olsson had been drinking brännvin together when they fell to quarrelling; the smith was thrown out and struck on the head with a small knobbly club, and died on the spot. Eight months later the perpetrator was beheaded at the hundred's execution site. A real murder from Uppland's legal history: the real death register, the real judgment and the real execution of 1803. Everyone involved has been dead for more than two hundred years, and the sources accompany the case.
