About This Episode
This episode of Danske Drabssager covers the Peter Lundin case, specifically the murder of his mother, Marianne Petersen, and the macabre way he tried to conceal the crime.
Peter Lundin, originally named Bjarne Skounborg, was sentenced in 2000 to life imprisonment for the 1998 murder of his mother Marianne Petersen, as well as her then-husband and son. The case drew massive attention, partly because of Lundin's earlier criminal history in the USA, where he had already killed his mother as a teenager, and partly because of the especially gruesome way he handled the bodies.
Lundin dismembered the three bodies and attempted to dispose of them in various ways, which gave the case its title, "the missing bodies." The episode presumably walks through the police investigation that led to the discovery of the crimes, along with the shocking details surrounding the handling of the remains.
The Peter Lundin case stands as one of Denmark's most notorious criminal cases, illustrating both the system's challenges in dealing with dangerous offenders and the extreme violence that can occur within family relationships.
