On a cold night in January 2004, gunshots rang out across a remote Swedish village. In Knutby, home to a small, tight-knit Pentecostal congregation, a young woman was murdered in her bed. And her neighbor suffered from multiple bullet wounds.
Attention soon turned towards the community. The victim’s husband, also the sect’s pastor, the victim’s 26-year-old nanny. And the sect’s leader, “The Bride of Christ.”
The case gained instant international notoriety when the nanny confessed within days. She claimed she was told to commit the acts of violence through a series of text messages from God. What soon emerged, however, was a tale of a scandalous love triangle. And details of another suspicious death that had occurred years before.
Behind it all were the mysterious actions of the sect’s leader who exerted an increasingly powerful pull over her congregation.
