– Skogbygda has lost four lives today. It takes some time to understand for us who live here, says Tommy Norum. He is usually a local newspaper journalist in the newspaper Raumnes. Tuesday was an unusual day at work. – It was not a fun day. On Tuesday morning, four people were found dead in a house on Nes. Three adults and a child. They were all family. The police believe the perpetrator – a well-grown man – has killed his two daughters. The last person killed is the man’s grandson. All four were residents of Nes municipality. A small village in great grief On Tuesday evening, the forest residents began to gather in the small village’s “centre”: the square next to the church, the school and the local Joker shop. Soon the space began to fill up with light. People flocked to light candles on Tuesday evening. Photo: Christian Breidlid / news – People take care of each other in Skogbygda right now, says Norum. He describes the local community as close-knit, calm and peaceful. That is why the shock is extra big when such a great tragedy strikes. The church was open to all who wished to gather on Tuesday. – Not everyone has so many words, but it is possible to sit completely still in the pews. And it is possible to light candles, it is possible to hold each other around, says parish priest Anniken Urianstad. Killed woman police One of those killed is employed by the police in the East police district. – It is extra demanding that one of our colleagues is among the dead, said police chief Cecilie Lilaas-Skaari when she met the press on Tuesday. Colleagues of the woman gathered at Eidsvoll police station after what had happened. Since the woman worked in the East police district, the Oslo police district has taken over the investigation.
