释义 |
BackgroundAccording to preserved court and church documents from the National Archives, the manslaughter took place on Boxing Day, 1822 when Putkonen was celebrating his name day in the village of Jauhomäki, Pieksämäki at his landlord's house. He had invited neighbors over, and was serving food and hard liquor to the guests. Putkonen was drunk, and had apparently been so earlier over the Christmas holidays as well.[1] MurderMr. Lasse Hirvonen, a father of five, had joined Putkonen's party. At some point, apparently angered by Hirvonen's dining manners, Putkonen unexpectedly attacked Hirvonen and shoved him on the floor. Other guests separated Putkonen and pushed him out of the house. There, Putkonen tried to grab an axe, but Hirvonen's brother-in-law managed to tame him.[1] After some while Putkonen was let back into the house. He was still angered, and after noticing Hirvonen, he fetched a meter-long piece of birch firewood from outside. Hirvonen was lighting up his pipe at the time of the attack, so he didn't see Putkonen hitting him to the forehead with the log. Unconscious, Hirvonen collapsed on the floor, blood flowing from his ears and nose. He never woke up, and died two days later.[1] TrialAt first Putkonen admitted his guilt, trying to even offer money in reparation at the scene of the events. Two witnesses testified that they didn't see the actual attack, but heard a noise and saw Hirvonen falling, with Putkonen holding the piece of log in his hand. Putkonen tried to claim later that he had acted in self-defense and that other guests had attacked Hirvonen as well.[1] Verdict and executionTahvo Putkonen was sentenced to death. Additionally, he was fined 24 silver thalers for contempt of court, public intoxication and disturbing the holiday peace. Despite of appeals to the Court of Appeals and challenging the witnesses, he was executed by axe on 8 July 1825, over two and half years after his crime.[1] Although Putkonen was the last person to receive the capital punishment, there was such long period from the crime and his sentencing to the execution, that he is not the last known person to be sentenced to death during peacetime, nor to commit a peacetime crime that lead to a death penalty. Abraham Kaipainen is the last known person to commit a peacetime crime that led to a death penalty (murdering his brother on 31 July 1823 in Pieksämäki) and to be sentenced to death by a non-martial court (27 November 1823). Kaipainen was executed on 30 October 1824.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite journal|last=Otonkoski|first=Pirkko-Leena|title=Henkirikoksista kuolemaan tuomittujen kohtaloita vuosina 1824-1825 Suomessa|journal=Genos|publisher=The Genealogical Society of Finland|volume=68|pages=55–69, 94–95|url=http://www.genealogia.fi/genos/68/68_55.htm|accessdate=14 December 2010|language=Finnish|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/5uyNXe7J1?url=http://www.genealogia.fi/genos/68/68_55.htm|archivedate=14 December 2010|deadurl=yes|df=}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Putkonen, Tahvo Tahvonpoika}}2. ^{{cite journal|last=Otonkoski|first=Pirkko-Leena|year=1997|title=Lisäyksiä artikkeliini "Henkirikoksista kuolemaan tuomittujen kohtaloita vuosina 1824–1825 Suomessa" (Genos 1997:2)|journal=Genos|publisher=The Genealogical Society of Finland|volume=68|page=182|url=http://www.genealogia.fi/genos/68/68_182a.htm|accessdate=14 December 2010|language=Finnish|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/5uyNYC3uf?url=http://www.genealogia.fi/genos/68/68_182a.htm|archivedate=14 December 2010|deadurl=yes|df=}} 10 : 1795 births|1825 deaths|People from Suonenjoki|People executed for murder|Executed Finnish people|People executed by the Grand Duchy of Finland|Finnish people convicted of murder|People convicted of murder by Finland|People executed by Finland by decapitation|19th-century Finnish people |
