Who is Palle Sørensen?

Palle Mogens Fogde Sørensen is a former small-time criminal who shot and killed four police officers in September 1965 while escaping in a stolen car.

After a huge search operation he was apprehended three days later and sentenced to life imprisonment. Despite being a peaceful prisoner, Copenhagen-born Sørensen was considered the most dangerous convict in Denmark for many years. He was granted parole after 32 years and eight months in prison — the longest time anyone has served in a Danish prison in modern history.

Palle Sørensen's crime eventually led to Danish police arming themselves with guns. He has a son named Mikkel Aske Høg.
