Fatal obsession

On a serene morning on the Danish island of Bornholm, tragedy struck. Pediatrician Elisabeth Wæver, known for her life-saving work, shockingly reversed her role as a caregiver by setting a fire that claimed the lives of a mother and her two sons. The pediatrician's hidden jealousy and obsession led her down a path of destruction, stemming from a forbidden affair with the husband of the deceased. In this episode we explore the trial that captured the nation's attention and the deep psychological turmoil that drove Elisabeth to murder.
