The Robbery
Ander sought a way to find a solution to his money problems, and for weeks he had been seen observing an exchange agency, Gerells Växelkontor on Malmtorgsgatan 3 in Stockholm. On 5 January 1910, he robbed the agency and beat the clerk, Victoria Hellsten, so severely that she died.

Some of the notes in Ander's possession were covered in blood, and this and the murder weapon lead to him being connected to the crime.
