Danish Murder Wave
CIimaxed by Death
OF Woman Doctor
~ ,he Assoeia,sd Press

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 1s.-Discov-
cry of the body of q 32-year-old
woman doctor in Esbjerg. Southwest
Jutland, recently climaxed q wave
Of murders that has terrified peace
full Denmark for eight months.
The doctor, Mrs. Else Anderskouv,
had been summoned to a birth. A
mysterious person-apparently the
murderer-phoned her on the night
Of August 4 and asked her to meet
him in the street. He said he would
accompany her to his home, where
his wife was about to give birth to
q baby.
Twenty hours later her body was
found at deserted place on the
outskirts Of the. town. Local police
are investigating with the assistance
of a special murder squad" from
Copenhagen.
Strangled With Tube.
The woman had been strangled
with the rubber tube Of her steto-
scope. Her medical bag had dis,
appeared.
This was the 10th murder in Dem
mark since November. Only four
of them have been solved. The
other i've which are still unsolved
occurred in Copenhagen and its
suburbs.
An 8-year-old girl was found
strangled In moor outside Copen-
hagen. Her body was mutilated and
bore evidence Of attack. A hand
kerchief was stuffed in her mouth.
An elderly well-to-do married
couple was found murdered in an
apartment in Copenhagen. Police
found signs of a furious battle.
Shop Girl Is Slain.
A 23-year-old shop girl was found
slain in a little wood in q Copen-
hagen suburb.
An 83-year-old man was found
knitted to death in a deserted house
in another Copenhagen suburb.
The Esbjerg murder is in some
way similar to another murder
mystery in the same city which
cost 7-year-old boy his life. Two
years ago his body was found in a
wood outside the town. His hands
were tied behind his back, and the
Esbjerg police found that Mrs.
Anderskouv's hands were tied In
the same way.
