Scandinavian Crimes (w/ Devante & Delila)

Year(s) of Incident: April 20th, 1992
Location: Finland
Murderer: Ilpo Tapio Larha
Victim(s): 1
Method: Murder, Fraud

On April 20, 1992, Wilhelm Högsten (Will-helm Hurg-sten), an elderly businessman owner of the Finnish Silk Mill in Jollas (Yoh-las), was shot dead in his bed. Initial suspicion pointed to a burglary gone wrong, but the lack of stolen items and the use of a rare weapon suggested a planned murder.

As investigators delved deeper, they uncovered family tensions, financial troubles, and ties to criminal activity. The investigation spanned into Russia, ultimately leading to life sentences for those involved in the crime.
