Description: One cold Thursday morning, a family is found dead in their home at Suðurgata 2. Sigurður Magnússon, a pharmacist, had taken his own life with cyanide. His wife, Hulda Karen Larsen, and their young children Magnús, Sigríður Dúa and Ingibjörg Stefanía, were found lying side by side after Sigurður had also given them cyanide. This case is the first and only of its kind in Iceland, when a perpetrator commits a family murder and takes his own life. The house at Suðurgata 2 is known as Dillonshús, or Dillon's House, and was moved Árbæjarsafn Museum for preservation due to its story and antiquity, but its story is not only of Sigurður and his family.

Lýsing: Einn kaldan fimmtudagsmorgun finnst fjölskylda látin á heimili sínu á Suðurgötu 2. Sigurður Magnússon, lyfjafræðingur, hafði tekið sitt eigið líf með blásýru. Eiginkona hans, Hulda Karen Larsen, og ung börn þeirra Magnús, Sigríður Dúa og Ingibjörg Stefanía, fundust liggjandi hlið við hlið eftir að Sigurður byrlaði þeim einnig með blásýru. Þetta mál er fyrsta og eina sinna tegundar á Íslandi, þar sem gerandi fremur fjölskyldumorð og tekur sitt eigið líf. Húsið að Suðurgötu 2 er þekkt sem Dillonshús og var flutt til varðveislu á Árbæjarsafn vegna sögu þess og aldurs, en sagan er þó ekki eingöngu Sigurðar og fjölskyldu hans.

Lýsing: Í öðrum hluta Sunnefumálanna fjalla ég um eftirmála yfirlýsingar Sunnefu Jónsdóttur - að sýslumaðurinn Hans Wium væri réttur faðir seinna barns hennar, en ekki bróðir hennar Jón Jónsson.

Description: In the first part of The Sunnefa Cases, I tell you about the siblings Sunnefa Jónsdóttir and Jón Jónsson, who at the age of 16 and 14 had a child together. According to an order of the Grand Judgment, this was an incestuous crime, and therefore, they were sentenced to death; Sunnefa was to be drowned and Jón to be beheaded. But then there‘s a turning point in their case when Sunnefa gives birth to another child in the custody of the magistrate Hans Wium, and she accuses her brother of being the child‘s father, but then she declares Hans Wium is the real father, who had forced her and Jón to confess to committing yet another incest. This causes a commotion at the Icelandic Parliament Alþingi, and a 20-year legal proceeding ensues which looks like it‘s never going to end.

Lýsing: Í fyrsta hluta Sunnefumálanna mun ég fjalla um systkinin Sunnefu Jónsdóttur og Jón Jónsson, sem aðeins 16 og 14 ára áttu að hafa eignast saman barn. Samkvæmt tilskipun Stóradóms var það blóðskömm, og því voru þau dæmd til dauða; Sunnefu átti að drekkja og Jón átti að hálshöggva. En svo breytist mái þeirra systkina, þegar Sunnefa eignast annað barn í varðhaldi sýslumannsins Hans Wium og ásakar hún bróður sinn um að vera faðir barnsins, en játar svo að Hans Wium sé raunverulegur faðir þess og hann neitt sig og Jón að játa á sig enn aðra blóðskömm. Allt fer í háa loft á Alþingi og úr verður 20 ára málaferli sem ætlar engan endi að taka.

Icelandic True Crimes Podcast is an independent bilingual weekly podcast, focusing on Icelandic true crime cases with a historical and cultural approach. Iceland is known for its breathtaking landscapes - from spouting hot springs, ice-blue glaciers, fields of lava, and dancing Northern Lights - to ever-changing and unpredictable weather, erupting volcanoes, and moving earthquakes. But this country also possesses great stories of its people, the descendants of Vikings who over a thousand years ago traveled from Norway and settled in the land of ice and fire. The Icelandic True Crimes Podcast covers crimes ranging from the well known to the forgotten ones. Each case is discussed in TWO separate episodes - one for Icelandic speaking listeners and the other one for English speaking listeners. If you’re into true crime, this is the podcast for you! It is a narrative podcast, with in-depth research as its basis, from facts obtained through publicly available content only; news articles, archives, court documents and reportings, historical material, and other existing documentation. You can listen to the Icelandic True Crimes Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and any other podcast app, or stream directly from its website.
