Pure suspense: Netflix reveals the shocking double murder in Linköping!

Netflix will bring the true crime series “Genombrottet” to screens in 2025, which deals with a disturbing double murder in Sweden. The four-part series, which is based on a non-fiction book, is dedicated to an unsolved criminal case that has preoccupied the Swedish public since 2004.

The series is directed by Lisa Siwe, while Oskar Söderlund is responsible for the script. Peter Eggers and Mattias Nordkvist star in the lead roles. The plot revolves around the brutal murders in Linköping that left an eight-year-old boy and a 56-year-old woman dead on October 19, 2004. After the crime, one of the largest investigations in the history of the Swedish police began, but remained unsolved for over 16 years Mannheim24 reported.

Investigations and enlightenment

The investigation into the double murder was slow for years until a professional genealogist named Per finally took over the case. Through his research in an international genealogy database, he was able to provide a DNA clue that made a decisive contribution to solving the case. This development is also discussed in the series, such as Sweden Herald describes.

“Genombrottet” addresses the importance of genetic analyzes in modern criminology and highlights how new technologies can help reopen old cases. The series promises to immerse viewers in the complex investigation that ultimately led to the solution of one of Sweden's most tragic crimes.
