On Wednesday, Marius Borg Høiby was remanded in custody for a week with a letter and a restraining order. The reason is that this week he has been charged with two counts of rape without intercourse. The police believed there was a risk of tampering with evidence, because they uncovered what they believe is a new rape on Wednesday night. Høiby’s defender Øyvind Bratlien is strongly critical of the police presenting a new charge on the same day as the prison meeting. – The latest case bears the stamp of extreme haste and a highly objectionable investigation, says Bratlien to news. – The police were afraid of not being successful in imprisonment. They were under pressure, and felt compelled to produce something more. Bratlien will consider during Thursday whether they should appeal the detention.
