von Sydow murders

Her account led the police to issue a warrant for the arrest of Fredrik von Sydow and his wife Ingun as the main suspects in the case.

Immediately after the murders, the pair had travelled by taxi to meet competitive shooter Sven O. Hallman, a friend of Fredrik's, borrowing a gun from him.

[3][7][page needed][8] The murders were the inspiration for Sigfrid Siwertz's play Ett brott ("A Crime"), which premiered on 13 October 1933 at the Lorensteatern in Gothenburg.

[1] A television film about the murders, Ett skuggspel ("A Shadow Play"), directed by Ingvar Skogsberg, was broadcast on SVT in 1985.

In 2004, author Helena Henschen published her book I skuggan av ett brott ("In the shadow of a crime") about the murders.
