About This Episode
"The Body by the Forest Tower: 'This is how I shot my business partner'" is an episode of Sagen Genåbnet, a Danish true crime podcast hosted by Jesper Vestergaard Larsen and Sanne Fahnøe. It centres on a 59-year-old man who has given his own account of how he came to shoot his business partner — a man whose body was afterwards burned in a forest close to the well-known forest tower at Rønnede, a town in southern Zealand, Denmark.
According to the 59-year-old, the shooting was an accident. The prosecution sees the sequence of events differently, and the episode sets up a central question: what actually happened between the two business partners, and how did the killing move from a shooting to a body left burned among the trees?
Sagen Genåbnet — Danish for "The Case Reopened" — digs into unsolved killings and revisits old cases with the help of modern investigative methods. Alongside unsolved murder cases and criminal investigations, the series deals with DNA forensics and how such techniques can reshape what is known about a case.
This is episode 219. It runs for 24 minutes and was released on 14 October 2026. Sagen Genåbnet is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and several other platforms.
