Murder of Knut Grøte
The murder of Knut Grøte took place in Christiania, the capital of Norway, on 10 August 1863. The case ended with the execution of the two killers in April 1864. The public beheadings at Etterstad, which were executioner Samson Isberg's last commissions, were attended by about 5,000 spectators.
==Murder and investigation==
The victim, Knut Grøte, was a farmer from Lærdal. He had arrived at Christiania in late July 1863, bringing several barrels of salmon, which he sold at the marketplace.〔Sørnes pp. 349–350〕 Grøte was reported missing the day after the murder, and one week later, his body was found floating in the fjord. He had been cut in the neck and also shot in the head.〔
The subsequent investigations revealed that Grøte was killed by Prussian Friedrich Wilhelm Priess and shoemaker Knud Christian Frederik Simonsen from Odense; both had settled in Christiania.〔Sørnes pp. 347–348, 354〕
On 10 August Priess had ordered a large quantity of fish from the farmer. He pretended being a sailor, and asked that the salmon be brought out to "his" ship in the harbor. Priess and Simonsen rented a rowing boat, and later the same day they met Grøte, who followed them to the boat along with the salmon. The three started rowing outwards, and while in the boat, Grøte was killed near the island of Hovedøya. He was both shot and stabbed with a knife. The yield from the robbery was 140 speciedaler. The corpse was thrown into the sea, attached to a stone with rope, which later helped in tracking the killers. The next week, the body was discovered. Investigations revealed that the rope had belonged to the rented boat. The two killers had already left the country, though. They were later found in Copenhagen, arrested and brought back to Christiania.〔Sørnes pp. 350–353〕
