The Robbery-Murder at Långhalt

about 1 h 15 min · 1–4 players

Onsjö hundred, Skåne, autumn 1845. A cottager and basket-weaver lives alone at Långhaltshus and quietly hoards money; on the morning of 13 October he is found dead on the ground ten fathoms from his own door, with blows to the head, his boots pulled off and his clothes bloody. Suspicion falls on a farmhand in the neighbouring village who has taken to drink and fallen into poverty, and a debt of two riksdaler, an axe in the entryway and the stolen coins in a waistcoat pocket are at last bound together in a confession. A true case from Swedish legal history: the real investigation, the real weapon and the real verdict. All those involved have been dead for more than a century and a half, and everything in the file comes from public records and the contemporary press — the sources accompany the case.
