She told the newspaper that it had been around a week since she had seen signs of life from the neighbours. A window was also open, with frost on the curtains. – She had not had contact with these people for a while and reacted to that, says police attorney Linn Skaar Sætre. Mayor Tom Georg Indrevik (H) says the municipality has not been asked to contribute in connection with the deaths. He will not comment on the matter at this time.
