Adolf Ludwig Boman

[RBoman]

Hi
Looking for information on Adolf Ludwig Boman,born1856 in Kristinestad,Finland and died August 1893 in Kristinestad.
He was murdered in a pub.Is there a website of old newspapers
that might have printed this story. Looking for information on
who killed him,why and where it happened.

Thanks
Ronda

You could try this:

http://digi.kansalliskirjasto.fi/sanomalehti/secure/query.html?language=en

It is a website for old newspapers. But, if you can't read Swedish, it won't be much of a help for you.

I made a search with words "Adolf Boman mord Kristinestad" and found two matches: one in Åbo Underrättelser and another in Hufvudstadsbladet, both dated 17th August 1892. It was a notice about a result of a trial held in Kristinestad 15th August 1892.

'An apprentice of a baker called Frans Oskar Grönberg was sentenced to jail for 12 years for the murder of seaman Adolf Boman. He could not tell any reason for why he killed Boman and stated that he was drunk at the time of the murder.' There were no further details of the murder in these newspaper notices.

Seems like Adolf died in August 1892, not 1893.

Nice links above, what a pity that they don't work.

I found further notices from Finnish-language newspapers by making a search with words "murha Kristiinankaupunki".

In Waasan lehti, dated 6th August 1892 a notice tells about a murder in Kristiinankaupunki. It happened on the night before Thursday and the murderer had escaped. The police was searching for him.

Wasa Tidning, dated 9th August 1892 tells that the murderer had been caught. His name was Frans Oskar Grönberg and he was from Janakkala. He confessed that he had murdered seaman Adolf Boman.
