the Woman, the Norwegian-born 60-year-old Marie Madeleine Steen is convicted numerous times for fraud in Norway, Sweden and Denmark since 1992.

Now, she is indicted in a new case that holds 22 cases of fraud committed at home.

She called herself Mia Steen, as she is a warm julidag knocked on the door of his shop, and according to the undertaker told him that she was in hospital at Herlev Hospital Cancerafdeling. She just wanted to talk a little bit in the case that she should go away, she explained to Michael Holgersen, when he bade her inside.

She seemed very sweet and reliable. In fact, she was very friendly. She just wanted to have an informal chat, and we talked about the options she had, among other things, the chests, she could get She told him that she was in the cancer department, and that it was bad, but how bad, she knew, not yet, says Michael Holgersen, en Ekstra Bladet meets him in his funeral parlor in Herlev.

Two weeks later, on Friday 20 July, she returned according to the undertaker back to plan his own funeral.

– she told me that She had just been told that her cancer was very serious. She had cancer of the spine, and metastases that spread out to the sides. She did not believe that doctors could do more, and therefore she had chosen to stop treatment and allow themselves to print.

Michael Holgersen began along with the ‘Mia’ Steen to plan her funeral. She said, however, that she just had a trip to Norway to visit his one son at the weekend. Then got the undertaker suddenly a shocking email from the ‘Mia’ Steen that her son had died in a drowning accident.

After a few days the woman was back in bedemandsforretningen in Denmark.

– She was very unruffled, even though she had just lost her son. But people react very differently, so I saw nothing strange in her reaction. We discussed how it was possible to get his son’s corpse being transported from Norway to Denmark by boat, and the coffin and the flowers, he should have, says the undertaker, and adds that ‘Billion’ Steen during the conversation told her that her purse was missing in the plane on the way from Norway to Copenhagen.

Michael offered to lend the woman the 1200 crowns, which he had in his purse, and ordered at the same time a room for her at the local inn, so she had a place to stay. He never saw his money again.

a Few days after he got a mail from the same address as a ‘Mia’ Steen had used in the past. The email was signed ‘Mia’ Steens family, who wrote that she was now dead.

Shortly after his visit with Michael Holgersens funeral parlor was the Marie Madeleine Steens arrested and then imprisoned 30. July.

the Extra Leaf has had contact with the 60-year-old Norwegian-born woman’s lawyer, Ulla Wulff Hansen. In an email she writes:

‘My client refuses itself to a certain extent guilty. She has instructed me not to be in dialogue with the press, why I can not come up with any further opinion’
