- Per Petter Christiansson Steineck
Per Petter Christiansson Steineck, born on 7 October 1822, was a Swedish executioner (employed 1864-1887).
Steineck carried out the one of the two last public executions in Sweden and is infamous for that. On the 18th of May 1876 he executed Konrad Petterson Lundqvist Tector for murder, but made a poor job of it. He failed to kill Tector with the first strike (actually taking two more strikes to sever the head from the body), and is supposed to have been drunk during the execution.
After the execution of Tector he was enlisted to carry out one more execution, of Nils Peter Hagström, on the 29th of March 1887. Three months later he emigrated to the USA with his wife, following his children.
