12: The Lonely Murderer
An old photo from the seventies shows an average middle-aged man. He wears a pair of dark-rimmed glasses and a white coat and his piercing gaze exudes authority. At that point nobody knows that a few years later this image will be published in all Norwegian papers. Arnfinn Nesset is suspected of murdering some 60 patients in only three years.

11: The Family Conflict
In May 1999, Norway is rocked by a horrific triple murder. An elderly couple and their 47-year-old daughter are found dead on a small farm north of Oslo. The bullets were fired at point-blank range, execution-style. The victims were well liked and no DNA is found at the crime scene. Who murdered these three, and more importantly, why?

10: The Book Thief
When a 30-year-old student from Malmö is arrested on suspicion of stealing a large number of books, his packed fridge is found to hide a much grislier secret.
This is a case that sent shockwaves across Sweden, terrifying everyone who read about it in the newspapers.
It begins with the disappearance of a young woman in November 1979. She’s the mother of a young son, and her parents are so worried that they repeatedly beg Malmö police for help. The woman seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. Yet the police don’t seem to do anything.

Murder in the North explores some of the most shocking murder cases in Scandinavia. Like the case of the young woman who set off from Tokyo on a back-packing journey across Europe in 1987, but whose adventure of a lifetime would end in tragedy in Copenhagen's cold waters. Or, the twisted tale of obsession that led two Swedish teenagers to organise an unspeakable murder over text message. Or the woman who mysteriously disappears one week before her wedding. Our account of these cases is based on sources in the public domain, including interviews, press releases and court proceedings to tells the stories of the most chilling and shocking cases to rock Northern Europe.
