Accused in the freezer case exposed himself to Anne Marie – news Sørlandet – Local news, TV and radio

The girl was only nine years old when her neighbor exposed herself to her in a village in inner Agder. – For some strange reason, I just noticed that there was something behind me, so I turn around, and there is my neighbor standing outside his house, exposing himself to me. That’s what Anne Marie says to news. She stands on the veranda of the house where she lived with her mother Monica back in 2003. The veranda set the family up so that Anne Marie could get to and from school without fear. The neighbor was convicted in 2004 for exposing himself to the nine-year-old girl. At the weekend it became known that he has been arrested in Sweden, charged with desecration of a corpse after his former partner was found dismembered in a freezer on the farm they lived on in Värmland in Sweden.

Defense attorney: No relevance The accused man’s defense attorney, Stefan Liliebäck, tells news that he does not want to comment on previous judgments against his client. – This is something that happened 20 years ago, and I don’t think it has any relevance to what he is accused of. It is too old, says Liliebäck. Stefan Liliebäck defends the Norwegian man in his 50s. He does not see the relevance between the old judgments against him and the case in which he is currently charged.
