Murder in the North explores some of the most shocking murder cases in Scandinavia. Like the case of the young woman who set off from Tokyo on a back-packing journey across Europe in 1987, but whose adventure of a lifetime would end in tragedy in Copenhagen's cold waters. Or, the twisted tale of obsession that led two Swedish teenagers to organise an unspeakable murder over text message. Or the woman who mysteriously disappears one week before her wedding. Our account of these cases is based on sources in the public domain, including interviews, press releases and court proceedings to tells the stories of the most chilling and shocking cases to rock Northern Europe.

In November 1996, residents of the Copenhagen neighbourhood Vesterbro are woken up by screaming sirens. It’s not unusual around here, but this time it’s not because of a conflict between drug dealers. The police have received multiple calls from the same apartment building. Several people have reported hearing arguing, shouting and a loud, dull thud followed by a deafening silence.

24: My Father Will Be To Blame
To those who knew her, news of the death of 14-year-old Sonay doesn’t come as a surprise. Both her teachers and child services tried their best to protect the girl but were ultimately unsuccessful. Sonay came to Denmark from Iraq as a nine-year-old and quickly assimilated into the new culture – much too fast, according to her father.
