Trånshult in Högsby parish, Småland, the evening of 28 November 1851. The next morning the soldier Jonas Boston is found beaten and with his throat cut, and in the village he and a former farmer had long been in open enmity over a ram and a testimony. Two years later the perpetrator was beheaded at the gallows hill by Ruda. A real case from Swedish legal history: the district sheriff's own report, the actual interrogations and the actual verdict. Everyone involved has been dead for more than a century, and everything in the file comes from the authorities' records and the contemporary press — the sources accompany the case.
