The cultural news has talked to five families whose cases have been featured in the pod Swedish murder stories, Sweden's third largest true crime podcast with 97,000 listeners each week. The families believe that the programs are done in an unethical way - without dialogue with relatives and against their will.
"Who are the ones who get that right?" Emma Jangestig, mother of the two children murdered in Arboga in 2008, told the Culture News.
The cultural news has repeatedly sought out Swedish murder story founder Sebastian Krantz for comment, but Krantz has not returned.
Promises better dialogue in the futureNow Sebastian Krantz says in the Jönköpings-Posten.
- We do not do this to tear up wounds in relatives. If you want it not to be published, we will unpublish. I understand that as a family member and mother of two children it feels awful to have to see or hear about it again, then we must adapt to it, says Sebastian Krantz to the Jönköpingsposten.
Sebastian Krantz tells the newspaper that he should be better at engaging in dialogue with relatives and that he has learned a lesson, Jönköpings-Posten writes.
