A woman in her 50s is injured, and her condition is critical. The woman is being treated at St. Olav’s hospital. – In connection with the investigation, we arrested two people this evening. Not for having caused the injuries to the woman, but for giving a false statement. This is what police attorney John R. Sødahl Furunes says to news. Whether the explanation is directly related to the injuries the woman has sustained, the police will not ascertain. It is combined with other information the police have gathered that they believe the two men have given a false statement. Crime scene technicians worked this evening in the block of flats where a woman was found badly injured.

Both have been taken into police custody, and will be held in custody until tomorrow. One of them is said to have had a relationship with the severely injured woman from before. – Whether this is an accident, or whether she is the victim of a criminal act, it is too early to say. That’s what Silje Noem, police attorney on duty at Trøndelag police district, says. Crime scene technicians are carrying out investigations at the site, and parts of the block of flats have been cordoned off. – It was a little before half past two that the police received a message to assist at the scene. We arrived at the same time as health, which started treatment of a patient. That’s what incident leader Kristin Jakobsen from Trøndelag police district says.
