Glanshammar parish in Närke, 18 November 1845. The maid Inga Pehrsdotter of Bredmåssen is robbed and beaten to death on the road, and suspicion falls on a farmhand from Brohammer. The following spring the Svea Court of Appeal convicts him, and in August 1846 he is beheaded at Glanshammar gallows hill, the last person ever executed there. A real case from Swedish legal history: the contemporary press notice, the actual judgment and the actual execution. Everyone involved has been dead for more than a hundred years, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources are included with the case.
