The 32-year-old was remanded in custody on Monday for four weeks, until 11 May. He will also undergo a forensic psychiatric assessment, according to the ruling from the detention meeting. Part of the rationale for remand is that the police do not rule out that there may be more people at large. On Monday at 11 o’clock the constitutional hearing started in the courtroom in the courthouse in Næstved in South Zealand, where the 32-year-old suspect had the charge read out. The defendant was dressed in a gray tracksuit and orange trainers when he entered the hall at 10.57am. From the witness box, where he was placed between two police officers, he looked towards the packed audience bench. Among others, the abducted girl’s stepfather sat there. Two more uniformed police officers guarded the courtroom doors. A representative of the prosecution and the man’s defender, Jens Otto Johansen, was present in the courtroom. Accused of rape The judge then took the floor and read the indictment. The indictment makes it clear that he is charged with a breach of section 261 of the Danish Criminal Code. They mean that he is charged with deprivation of liberty, violence, threats of violence and rape. According to the charge, he held the girl back against her will in a house in Korsør. According to the charge, the man must have abducted her right after she reported that she had finished her round of newspapers on Saturday morning. The penalty is imprisonment for up to 8 years. According to the section of the law, the punishment can be up to 12 years if it occurred under particularly aggravating circumstances. The accused 32-year-old admits partial guilt. At the present time, it cannot be ruled out that others are also involved, the prosecution said in court. Crime scene technicians examined several houses in the area where the 13-year-old disappeared on Sunday. Photo: Joakim Reigstad / news Name prohibition The prosecutor’s office asked that the doors be closed to the audience and media out of consideration that the girl has not yet been questioned and out of consideration for the investigation. The judge accepted the petition and also imposed a ban on publishing names. When the doors are closed, it also means that the public does not get to hear the accused’s explanation or know exactly what he admits to having done. The closed doors also mean that we do not get to hear what evidence the police believe they have against the 32-year-old or more details from the investigation. Arrested on Sunday, the 13-year-old disappeared on Saturday after she had finished a newspaper round in Kirkerup on Zealand. In the afternoon, her bike, bag and mobile phone were found by her family in a ditch after they went out to look for her. On Sunday afternoon, Danish police announced that Filippa had been found alive, 27 hours after she disappeared. At the same time, the police stated that a 32-year-old man had been arrested. According to the indictment, the 32-year-old was arrested on Sunday at 2.48 pm in the house in Korsør. Two other people who were arrested on Sunday have been checked out of the case after questioning, and released, the police say. The girl disappeared from Kirkerup, and ended up in Korsør. The disappearance of Filippa has raised memories of another serious crime in Korsør, namely the abduction and murder of 17-year-old Emilie in 2016. She disappeared after being out with friends, and was only found murdered half a year later. The murder case has not yet been solved.
