Stockholm, 1783. A soldier stands trial for killing his wife, and on 19 March he is taken to the gallows ground outside Skanstull, where he loses his right hand, is beheaded and quartered. The circumstances of the murder itself were never written down — the record bears the name, age, sentence and execution. A real case from Swedish legal history: the real convicted man, the real victim and the real execution, with the sources in the record.
