Gothenburg, Whit Sunday, 3 June 1900. On a footpath between Ånäsvägen and the workers' housing at the Gamlestaden factories, Police Constable Johan Fredrik Hedén, 46, falls to two knife blows to the throat and temple. The man arrested, Victor Emanuel Jansson, 23, had been known to the local police since he was growing up and had been driven away from the cigar dealer's shop at the factory gate that same evening. What happened on the way home, and what does the verdict actually say about intent? This is the first police murder in Sweden in the 20th century, played as it was: the real investigation, the same suspect and the same verdict. The convicted man and the victim are named from public records, and the sources accompany the case.
