was 48 years old. Månsdotter thus became the last woman in Sweden to be executed. Aftermath The murder was not only notable because of the deed itself, but also because it was revealed that the mother and son had an incestuous relationship. Anna Månsdotter was beheaded by axe on the district jail grounds in Kristianstad on August 7, 1890 by executioner Albert Gustaf Dahlman. Per Nilsson was pardoned from his death sentence and was instead sentenced to hard labour for the rest of his life. He was however released in 1913 and died in 1918. In media The Yngsjö murder has been portrayed in numerous films and books over the years: In 1966, a full-length feature film, Woman of Darkness, was released. It was directed by Arne Mattsson and stars Gösta Ekman (as Per Nilsson), Gunnel Lindblom (as Anna Månsdotter) and Christina Schollin (as Hanna Johansdotter).
