Tore Hedin

Hedin's weighted-down body was later found in Lake Brösarp. His corpse was transported to the Institution of Anatomy at Lund University. It was stored at the institution until 1974, when it was cremated.

In the summer of 1952, Hedin's girlfriend, Ulla Östberg, broke off their engagement. Infuriated, Hedin assaulted her with handcuffs and threatened to shoot her. He was subsequently dismissed from the police force for this incident. On the night of August 21, 1952, Hedin went on a killing spree after Östberg refused to take him back despite numerous attempts to win her over. His first stop was his parents' house in Saxtorp, where he killed them both and set the house on fire sometime before midnight.

On 28 November 1951, Hedin robbed and murdered his friend John Allan Nilsson after a poker game at Nilsson's home in Tjörnarp. To cover his tracks, he burned down the residence. Being the local police representative, he took part in the investigation and even answered questions from the national media concerning the case.

Tore Hedin was born in Stora Harrie, Scania, near Kävlinge. He committed his first crime in September 1943, when he broke into a local brewery near his parental home to steal some oats. To avoid detection, he burned down the brewery to hide his crime; this was a method he used later to cover his tracks when he committed far more serious crimes.

Tore Hedin (7 January 1927 – 22 August 1952) was a Swedish mass murderer and police officer. The act perpetrated by Hedin, commonly known as Hurvamorden, is infamous for being the worst known act of spree killing in Swedish criminal history, and for the fact that Hedin, as a police officer, had been assigned to investigate his own first murder for an extended period. Hedin also employed a medium, itself unique for a Swedish homicide investigation.
