About This Episode
This episode of the Danish podcast 'Sagen Genåbnet' – 'The Case Reopened' – examines one of Denmark's most shocking homicide cases: the Peter Lundin case from 2000. The episode goes through the brutal crimes of the Danish-American killer, who murdered and dismembered his girlfriend Marianne Pedersen and her two sons, Brian and Dennis, in the family's apartment in Rødovre, Denmark.
Lundin, also known as Bjarne Skounborg, had already killed his mother in the United States before arriving in Denmark. The episode takes its title, 'Vicious and delicious', from Lundin's own chilling description of the crimes – a case that sent shock waves through Danish society.
The podcast looks at the extensive investigation that led to Lundin's arrest, along with the macabre details of how he attempted to conceal his victims. The case remains particularly memorable for the cold calculation behind the killings and for Lundin's complete lack of remorse.
Peter Lundin was sentenced to forvaring – the Danish sentence of indefinite preventive detention used for offenders considered dangerous – and remains imprisoned. The case has since been the subject of numerous documentaries and true crime productions, as it represents one of the darkest chapters in recent Danish criminal history.
