Antti Isotalo

Isotalo was a restless character, and his hobbies included horse racing.

He was a shrewd businessman, and felt right at home at the town market.

Because of his large size, he was often asked to act as a security guard in festivities.

Isotalo was accused of homicide in 1858, but was released due to lack of conclusive evidence.

The Senate of Finland changed the sentence to 12 years of hard labour at the Hämeenlinna correctional facility.
