The 1986 Viking Sally murder took place in July 1986, aboard the cruiseferry MS Viking Sally en route from Turku, Finland, to Stockholm, Sweden, when Reijo Hammar [fi] (born 1953) killed businessman Antti Eljaala (born c. 1942).[1] The case is particularly notable for two reasons: Hammar was later described as the most dangerous known criminal in Finland,[2] and a year later, another murder took place aboard the same ship.[1]
