context_page_description: The von Sydow murders, one of Sweden's most notorious criminal cases, occurred on 7 March 1932 in Stockholm.
context_section_description: The murders were the inspiration for Sigfrid Siwertz's play Ett brott ("A Crime"), which premiered on 13 October 1933 at the Lorensteatern in Gothenburg. It was also performed at the Dramatiska Teatern in Stockholm on 15 March 1934, directed by Alf Sjöberg. In 1940 the play was the basis of a film, with the actors Edvin Adolphson and Karin Ekelund playing the lead roles.
  A television film about the murders, Ett skuggspel ("A Shadow Play"), directed by Ingvar Skogsberg, was broadcast on SVT in 1985. The lead roles were played by Stefan Ekman and Jessica Zandén. In 2004, author Helena Henschen published her book I skuggan av ett brott ("In the shadow of a crime") about the murders. In 2006, the Uppsala Stadsteater presented a play based upon the event titled von Sydowmordens gåta ("Mystery of the von Sydow Murdere"), prompting the journalist Karin Thunberg to interview the daughter of Fredrik and Ingun von Sydow to discuss how the murders had affected her life.
