The Murder in Vomb

about 1 h 30 min · 1–4 players

Vomb parish in Skåne, summer 1821. A former corporal of the army fleet's squadron in Gothenburg has taken the life of his wife Bengta Olsdotter in the village, and he is brought to the castle prison in Malmö to be prepared for death. His Royal Majesty's judgment confirms the sentence — loss of the right hand, beheading and quartering — and at Åsum on 25 July the sentence is carried out. A real case from Swedish legal history: everything in the record comes from the parish register of Malmö Castle Parish and the condemned man's own preparation, and every name is a public document. The sources accompany the case.
