The police found a dead person on Landfalløya in Drammen on Wednesday morning. The deceased was found at an address right by the Drammenselva in the city centre, a little before 07.30. The discovery site was in a house consisting of eight apartments. The deceased is a man in his 60s, who lives at the address. In the house, an injured man was found in a different apartment than the deceased’s. The injured man was transported to Drammen’s hospital for treatment. – A 48-year-old man was taken away with injuries, and is still being treated in hospital. We put him in the context of the violence the deceased was exposed to, says police inspector Odd Skei Kostveit in the South-East police district to news. The 48-year-old is charged with grievous bodily harm. The police are contacting neighbors to see if they know anything about the death.

The deceased will be sent for an autopsy, and an interim report from the Institute of Forensic Medicine is expected within a couple of days. The South-East police district has not yet asked for assistance from Kripos, and is assessing this on an ongoing basis. It is just over three years since a 76-year-old woman was found murdered in the same area. A woman in her 30s was sentenced to mental health care for the murder.
