On Tuesday morning, all the emergency services went to a house in Vestnes. A woman was dead inside the house, and a child was badly injured. A man in his 20s was arrested by the police, and later charged with aggravated assault resulting in death. The man was the son of the woman who died, and the brother of the child who was badly injured. In the detention meeting on Thursday, the police asked for four weeks in custody. And the court ruled that the man gets four weeks in custody, but he gets to sit in an institution instead of prison. According to the decision from the court, there must have been an incident between the mother and the son a year ago. It also states that there are no indications other than that the injuries to the mother and stepsister came from violence. Did not attend the prison meeting The accused was not present at the prison meeting today, due to the man’s health situation. Police inspector, Anders Skorpen Trøen, says they have asked for four weeks in custody because of the risk that he may destroy evidence, and the risk that he may do something similar again. – We asked that the custody situation be carried out in an institution, not a prison, says Trøen The man’s defense attorney, Roy Peder Kulblik, tells news that he asked in the prison meeting that the accused be released, because he has said he has not done what he is to blame. He was not approved for this. The woman who died was in her 40s. Photo: Frederik Winness Ringnes / news Lives in a 24-hour residence The man in his 20s is said to be mentally ill, according to his defense, and lives in a 24-hour residence where he is supervised at any time. Roy Peder Kulblik yesterday questioned how the mentally ill man could visit his mother. – When he has visited his mother, I assume that he has had supervision in connection with the visit. It is interesting to know what the supervisors have done, said Kulblik to news yesterday. And if he has not been supervised during the visit, but has been on leave from the residence, the defender wonders what assessments have been made beforehand. The institution targeted will not comment on the matter because it is an ongoing investigation, and refers to the police. The police will not say anything about whether the man had supervision when he was visiting his mother at home. But they will ask for an assessment of the condition of the accused. – A forensic psychiatrist spoke to him yesterday and recommends a full assessment to assess whether he is sane or not. Continue with the investigation The police say they have investigated the case extensively in recent days. – So it is now up to us to interpret it and see it in connection with the results of the autopsy, witness interviews and other things to get the best possible picture of what has happened, says police inspector Anders Skorpen Trøen. He says they arrested the man near the house where the woman and child were found. For the time being, he cannot say anything about how long the woman will have the doctor dead in the house. – It is a central question that we are investigating, among other things, through the autopsy, but we are not going to go to the media with information related to it today.
