Dubbelmordet på Tor Öberg och Gerd Viklund inträffade den 31 maj 2005 på Tors gård i Brattås. Fallet var ouppklarat i över 16 år innan DNA-släktforskning möjliggjorde identifiering av en misstänkt.

Den laddades upp i en av de tillåtna kommersiella släktforskningsdatabaserna och därefter kunde polisens dna-släktforskare Linda Kvist spåra personen.

Domen är överklagad och fallet tas upp i hovrätten med start den 5 november.
