Everything about Ernst Tandefelt totally explained
Knut Ernst Robert Tandefelt (born
March 10,
1876 in
Sysmä,
Finland; died
May 3,
1948 in
Sipoo,
Finland) was a
Finnish-Swedish nobleman.
The mentally unstable Tandefelt shot the
Finnish Minister of Internal Affairs
Heikki Ritavuori dead at Ritavuori's home door at Nervanderinkatu 11 in
Etu-Töölö,
Helsinki on
February 14,
1922, to affect Finland's politics in the
Kindred Nations Wars (heimosodat) taking place in
Eastern Karelia. The event was the only
murder of a
government minister and the only
political assassination in the entire history of independent Finland.
Tandefelt has often been suspected of having acted because of an extreme
right-wing conspiracy, but there's no binding evidence of this. Tandefelt himself said he acted alone.
Tandefelt was sentenced to
life imprisonment of
hard labor. Later, the
Supreme Court of Finland ordered him to undergo a mental health examination. Tandefelt was legally found to be partially insane and the sentence was lowered to 12 years of hard labor. Tandefelt died in the Nikkilä mental hospital on May 3, 1948.
