Man should have been held prisoner – now he is dead – news Trøndelag – Local news, TV and radio

The newspaper Opp writes that. The man who lived in the house where the now deceased was found denied that the person concerned was being held captive. He was only visiting, according to the detention order on 28 October. Remanded in custody for two weeks The suspect, in his 40s, was remanded in custody for two weeks on 28 October, charged with bodily harm section 273. Regarding the injuries suffered by the victim, the court writes: “The victim has suffered several injuries which, individually, probably cannot be attributed under the criminal law § 273. Nevertheless, the court believes that it is more likely that the sum of these damages together constitutes a damage according to § 273 of the Criminal Code, than that they do not. » The man was sent to hospital. Police attorney Anette Strøm Røsholdt confirms to Opp that the offended man died just over a week ago. Based on what happened, the police see this as a suspicious death, according to the police attorney. The deceased will now be autopsied. The charge in the disappearance case last year After the charge was released from custody in mid-November, the charge was extended to aggravated assault and abduction based on the investigation. The man was also charged with grievous bodily harm resulting in death after Ronny Melby (46) was reported missing in the same area last October. Melby is said to have stayed with the suspect for a few days just before he disappeared. In the prison meeting, the accused denied that he had anything to do with the disappearance. On 20 October, Melby was found dead in Orkla in Rennebu, close to where he lived with the accused. The autopsy showed that Melby died of drowning and the charge against the man in his 40s was dropped. Defense attorney Sverre Myrland tells Opp that his client is aware of the man’s death. Beyond that, the defender has no comment.
