About This Episode
"Episode 329: Mystisk sexdrab på Frederiksberg og giftig smørmad" is an instalment of Mørkeland, a Danish-language podcast that examines some of the darkest criminal cases in Denmark. The episode covers two separate cases: a mysterious, sexually motivated killing in Frederiksberg, Denmark, and a murder committed with rat poison.
The first case concerns an elderly widower who was found dead under mysterious circumstances in Frederiksberg. Investigators were initially unsure what kind of case they were dealing with. Only once the results of the autopsy were available did they become certain that a crime had been committed — and that the motive was most likely sexual. This case begins at 00:07:43.
The second case involves a husband who fell in love with a younger model. In order to marry his new flame, he sprinkled rat poison over his wife's food. The episode turns to this case at 00:55:30.
Mørkeland is hosted by Camilla Bjerregaard Aurvig and Kristine Sofie Bugbee, both journalists. The podcast started in 2018 and is published in Danish. This episode runs 133 minutes and is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Podimo, a Danish-founded audio subscription service.
Assistant research for the episode was carried out by Signe Fage Jensen, while Anders Eske handled assistant editing. The music is supplied by Bensound. Further episodes are available from Mørkeland.
