The murder of Birgitte

In 2023, Norway remains haunted by the unresolved and brutal murder of Birgitte Tengs. Despite the controversy surrounding the acquittal of a suspect in 1998 and a renewed investigation in 2016 based on extensive DNA analysis, the case still lacks a definitive resolution, deepening the mystery surrounding Tengs' death. Characterized by multiple appeals and enduring public interest, this case continues to shroud Norway's criminal justice system in ambiguity.


This episode was written and produced by Kathrine Baldishol, researched by Torjus Augestad Ambjør and narrated by Christopher Rygh. Executive producer is Nils Bergman.


Nordic Crimes is a Tall Tale production.
