What is the episode about?
Danske Drabssager released the episode Kvinden med kniven on September 23, 2025, which is the fourth episode of the podcast's thirteenth season. The episode is based on one of the most unusual and violent personal danger cases in recent Danish criminal history, where a woman exhibited escalating aggressive behavior towards a close friend over several years. The conflict reached its absolute low point when the perpetrator attacked the victim with a knife, inflicting a total of 17 stab wounds. As an additional brutal dimension to the attack, the perpetrator chose to throw hydrochloric acid in the victim's face, leaving lasting physical and psychological scars. The stabbing with hydrochloric acid is the focal point of this detailed review of the case files.
The case behind the episode
The case of the woman with the knife differs from many other violent cases due to the long-standing history between the two involved parties. According to the review in Tandlægens Trekant , it was a relationship that over time developed from friendship to an obsession-like state characterized by jealousy and resentment. The police and prosecution emphasized the planning that went into the final attack. The use of hydrochloric acid indicates a specific intention to permanently disfigure the victim, which is often regarded as an aggravating circumstance in the legal system. The trial that followed the arrest sheds light on the psychological mechanisms that can drive a person to commit such extreme acts against someone they were once close to.
