Beyond that, I cannot comment on his health, says police attorney Braathen. The man, who is in his 40s, has pleaded guilty and was remanded in custody on Friday. He had previously agreed to four weeks in custody. The accused is banned from writing and visiting for the entire period of imprisonment, but the court rejected the police’s request for complete isolation in prison. The court believed that the risk of the man’s leaking evidence through communication with fellow inmates was too hypothetical. – Such a danger will typically not be as prominent in a case like this about violence and murder in close relationships, the ruling states. – Firearm not seized The incident happened on the night of Thursday at an address in Gjerdrum municipality in Romerike.
