Woman is said to have been kept in a freezer for over five years – news Norway – Overview of news from various parts of the country

Her roommate, a man in his 50s, is suspected of murder and charged with desecration of a corpse. – The time for desecration has now been changed and now starts on 12 January 2018. The investigation has shown that it is most likely the day the victim died. I do not want to go into exactly how we have arrived at this exact date, says state attorney Linda Karlsson in a press release. It was on 16 March 2023 that the police found the body in a freezer on a farm in Värmland in Sweden. Both are Norwegian citizens and originally from Agder. The prosecution previously worked on the theory that the deceased woman may have been dead since September 2018. But she has probably been dead even longer. The prosecution is now asking for the man to be remanded in custody for another two weeks. The time for the detention meeting has not yet been set. The final autopsy report is not yet ready, but should be shortly. NORDMENN: Both the man who has been arrested for murder and the woman who has been found dead are Norwegian and from Agder.

He is thus suspected of serious fraud and remanded in custody for serious fraud in the period from 12 January 2018 to 28 February 2023, according to Swedish Expressen. The police believe that in the period 12 January 2018 to 28 February 2023 he took SEK 1,300,000 from the deceased’s account. – The action is to be considered serious because it was systematic and intended for a significant value, says Linda Karlsson to Aftonbladet. Previously convicted The Norwegian suspect in his 50s has previously been convicted in both Norway and Sweden. He has been convicted a number of times for driving under the influence of drugs, the last time in 2022. As recently as January 2023, he was punished for driving a car without a driving licence. In Norway, he has also been convicted of driving under the influence of drugs. He also has a conviction for sexually offensive behaviour.
