The woman in her 30s married and had a child with a female lover in 2021. When the wife suddenly died of an overdose the following year, the police started an investigation, and the woman in her 30s was suspected of negligently causing the death of another. Earlier this year, however, suspicion was cast on the position of the evidence. The family of the dead woman appealed against the closure, and since then the case has been with the Attorney General. The appeal case has now been processed, and the Attorney General has decided that the suspension will be overturned. This means that the case has been taken up again for investigation, and that the woman has been charged in the case. – Should only be missing Morten Kjensli is the assistance lawyer for the family of the dead woman. He is happy that the investigation is being resumed. – I think as far as that is concerned it should just be missing. It clearly needs to be done with a broader view of the matter, says Kjensli to news. Assistance lawyer Morten Kjensli.

Oslo Police District informs news that they have no opportunity to comment on the case today. The Attorney General has also not been available to comment on the decision to resume the investigation. According to the new charges against the woman, she is accused of failing to help her wife before she died. Section 287 of the Criminal Code has a penalty of imprisonment for six months or a fine. – I notice that the charge includes a far less serious criminal offense than the original investigation, says the woman’s defender Alexander Nyheim Jenssen. Convicted of violence in the district court At the same time as the wife’s death was under investigation, the woman in her 30s had to stand trial for several other cases. In April this year, she was sentenced in Buskerud District Court to three years’ unconditional imprisonment for serious violence, mistreatment and threats against four female ex-girlfriends. However, she has appealed the verdict on all points. It has not been processed, but the judgment is therefore not legally binding. In addition to the prison sentence, she was banned from contacting the four women for three years, as well as paying compensation of NOK 120,000 to each of them. The death was a turning point The first of the four lovers initially did not want to report the woman, but in 2022 the police contacted her. Then they investigated the death of the woman’s then wife. It was a turning point for the first boyfriend, who then reported her for violence and threats that happened while they were together. – The fact that she died made me want to explain myself. Now I have to bear some responsibility for helping in that case, she said in court. During the trial, the four women said they were kicked, beaten, spat on and controlled. The accused woman admitted that the relationship between the ex-boyfriends had been turbulent, but that everything was greatly exaggerated. She further believed that the women were conspiring against her. Tried to save his spouse Defendant for the accused woman, Alexander Nyheim Jenssen, tells news that his client finds the new charge very burdensome, and basically does not want this case to be discussed. – But in light of the fact that we have been told that the case will be published regardless of what my client may think about this, we will still make a short statement, says the lawyer. He believes the woman did everything in her power to save the life of her spouse, and that this is confirmed by the audio log from AMK. Defender for the woman Alexander Nyheim Jenssen.

The Norwegian Health Inspectorate forwarded the case to the State Administrator for further follow-up. The reason why such a notification case was created was AMK’s handling of my client’s repeated calls to them on the night in question, says Jenssen. The state administrator concluded that they did not need to follow up on the case further, but that the health institution had to “follow up and review the incident as part of their quality work”.
