The Murder at the Edsleskog Rectory

about 1 h 15 min · 1–4 players

Edsleskog rectory in Dalsland, the night of 5 July 1824. A thief breaks into the dean's house, carries off silver and brännvin, and then lies in a ditch close by. When the rectory's bailiff comes to fetch him, he draws a knife, and the bailiff dies almost at once. A few days later the thief is arrested outside Åmål and brought before Tössbo hundred court. A real case from Dalsland's legal history: the actual investigation, the actual verdict and the condemned man's own words. Everyone involved has been dead for more than a hundred years, and everything in the record comes from public documents — the sources accompany the case.
