The Oslo police district states that they believe there is no longer a danger that Marius Borg Høiby (27) could destroy evidence, and that they are therefore not asking for him to be remanded in custody. Høiby will therefore be released from custody today after a week. – It was not surprising. He should not have been imprisoned at all, says Høiby’s defender Øyvind Bratlien to news. CHARGE: Marius Borg Høiby is charged with violence in close relationships against three women. Photo: Håkon Mosvold Larsen / NTB Bratlien says that the evidence against Høiby is significantly weakened and that the imprisonment was wrong and a “catastrophic” misjudgment on the part of the police. – The police investigate the case in their own way, and we work in our own way. We will probably carry out our own investigation as well: – He does not admit criminal guilt for the vast majority of the circumstances in the prosecution. He only admits to one count of bodily harm, one act of damage and one threat. And that’s it, says Bratlien. Øyvind Bratlien says that Marius Borg Høiby should never have been detained. Photo: Hedda Kurseth Two new visiting bans The police say they have started an investigation into a new case of sexual offences. This woman has been given legal assistance. Høiby is not charged with this relationship. There is no change in the charges against him, says police attorney Andreas Kruszewski. Bratlien says he has not heard anything about this and that he therefore cannot comment on it. At the same time, the police state that they have given Høiby two new restraining orders against two women who have been offended in the case. Gunhild Vehusheia is the legal representative of one of the offended women against whom Høiby has now imposed a restraining order. Høiby is accused of rape without intercourse against her client. – My client is happy that the police investigation has come so far that he can be released from custody, says Vehusveia. This is the house Marius Borg Høiby disposes of in Skaugum. The police believe that one of the rapes he is accused of must have happened here.

She says she has not asked for a restraining order against her client, as there has been no relationship between them. – I know that the police have worked hard on the case, and note that they have taken the new investigative steps that were necessary. Remand for a week It was Monday last week that Marius Borg Høiby was arrested in a car together with the offended woman from the Frogner incident. At the same time, the police searched his home in Skaugum and made several seizures there. Two days later, Marius Borg Høiby was remanded in custody for a week with a ban on letters and visits. Høiby opposed the imprisonment. The reason for this was that the police believed there was a risk that evidence could be lost. The district court agreed with that. Høiby just before the prison meeting accused of two rapes. The police believe they have video evidence of the incidents. He denies criminal liability for this. Høiby’s defender Øyvind Bratlien called these charges “catastrophic misjudgments”. Police attorney Andreas Kruszewski replied that they would use the week well. Høiby is now charged with threats, violence, violence in close relationships, violation of a restraining order, damage, and rape. There are six victims in the case.
