Adresseavisen reported the arrest first. The police are working to clarify the new arrested’s role in the case, but he will not be charged with murder or complicity in murder. – The key here will be to clarify the relationship with the accused in the murder case and what connection he has to a possible act of murder. That’s what police attorney Ole Andreas Aftret says. – We are making an assessment today as to whether it will be appropriate to produce him for imprisonment tomorrow. From before, the husband of the deceased woman has been charged with murder. He denies criminal guilt, but nevertheless agreed to four new weeks in custody on Thursday morning. – Complete isolation of the accused in the murder case will now be requested on the basis of the arrest that was made yesterday. It is so that they will not have the opportunity to talk together, says Aftret. It was on 30 June that the police received a report of a suspicious death in Ørland in Trøndelag. The husband, who is in his 60s, was arrested and charged with murder on Tuesday 4 July. On Wednesday 19 July, the charge was extended to also apply to attempted murder by poisoning on a previous occasion. – This was in connection with the deceased being admitted with poisoning in February this year. The victim did not die from the poisoning at the time because she was given medical treatment at St. Olav’s hospital. – It is the same substance that has been detected in the deceased’s body on both occasions, says police attorney Ole Andreas Aftret at Trøndelag police district in a press release on Wednesday.
