Murder Site of Dunkri Lonni
The murder associated with an attic at Dunkri 5 brings together poverty, violence and the troubled nightlife of interwar Tallinn.
The killing of Dunkri Lonni is not a romantic Old Town legend but a tragic crime story. The events linked an attic dwelling, poverty, prostitution, a former police officer and an explosive device used for violence. The case drew attention because of its exceptional brutality. On today’s orderly street it is difficult to imagine the insecure lives once lived in cramped rooms, where conflict could end in death.
