Frans Otto Eriksson (15 April 1867 – 7 June 1953), also known as Svarta Hästen ("The Black Horse"), was a Swedish baker and a convicted thief and murderer.[1][2] He was initially involved in petty crimes between baking jobs,[3] but Eriksson joined a double-murder conspiracy on the promise of a monetary reward.[4] Despite being caught, he escaped the death penalty and was sentenced to life imprisonment,[5] of which he served nearly 21 years.[6]
