EN - 6 - FAMILICIDE: Pharmacist Poisons Himself and His Family
Episode 16
Friday, 4 December, 2020

Description:One cold Thursday morning, a family is found dead in their home at Suðurgata 2. Sigurður Magnússon, a pharmacist, had taken his own life with cyanide. His wife, Hulda Karen Larsen, and their young children Magnús, Sigríður Dúa and Ingibjörg Stefanía, were found lying side by side after Sigurður had also given them cyanide. This case is the first and only of its kind in Iceland, when a perpetrator commits a family murder and takes his own life. The house at Suðurgata 2 is known as Dillonshús, or Dillon's House, and was moved Árbæjarsafn Museum for preservation due to its story and antiquity, but its story is not only of Sigurður and his family.Show Notes:www.icelandictruecrimes.com/shownotes/pharmacist-poisons-himself-and-his-familyContact:info@icelandictruecrimes.comWebsite:www.icelandictruecrimes.comDiscussion Group:www.facebook.com/groups/icelandictruecrimesInstagram:www.instagram.com/icelandictruecrimesFacebook:www.facebook.com/icelandictruecrimesAre you interested in advertising on this podcast?www.icelandictruecrimes.com/advertise
