The Murder of Jörgen Asktappare

about 2 h · 1–4 players

Stockholm, in the year 1546. The burgher Jörgen Asktappare has been missing for some time, and his wife claims to know nothing of where he has gone. Then one day a barrel lid is pulled up out of the water outside the city, and in the barrel lies a dismembered body. The Stockholm town court brings out the tänkebok and the axe, and the trail soon leads straight into the grieving wife's house. A real case from the Stockholm town tänkeböcker: the same inquiry, the same accused and the same verdict as in the 16th-century records. Everyone in the case has been dead for centuries, and everything in the case is in the sources — the sources come with the case.
